this one??????????????

I was having a conversation with a fellow counter the other day. This was our dispute.

Using KO at high counts, when I have my large bet out there I don't split my 8's against a dealer 9 or 10. This is at +3 or better.
Ko does not say this in the book, but if I would be taking insurance at that high count because of the high probability of a monkey in the hole, then why would I split my 8's. It dosen't make sense.
My friend disagrees. What is the room take on this???

Actually I don't hit it at all, I treat it as a 16 with a high count.

Thanks,
