Who here splits 10s?

[Avincow]

I have never done it before, I'm too scared.

[Three]

I do it but most of the time I forget about the play because it is so rare. I am usually trying to play that big count fast before other players jump in and eat the cards.

[LVBear584]

I do it whenever appropriate, as well as re-splitting if the count still warrants it, as well as doubling on A,9 whenever appropriate.

Rarely encountered . I have done it a few times cause it was relatively heat free ,and I don't give a hoot at those places. At the places that I care and afraid to lose it too quick then I do not do it.

[Koz84]

I have done it on a handful of occasions when it is warranted. I can also say, with great delight, I have never lost a hand splitting 10s.

[JPhoenixX]

I've done it once and probably will never do it again.

The count was good so I split my faces and pulled 2 more. The pit boss started *****ing about how they wished I would have lost to teach me a lesson. About 20 minutes later two suites came over and told me I couldn't play anymore. The thing that pissed me off the most was I was losing at the time.

I've never split tens when warranted.

You ought to ,usually someone will react. Unless you are a ploppy,the result likely to be nasty.

Can someone who's worked it out tell me what is the approximate loss in hourly EV under standard conditions (full-Kelly, 6D, standard rules) for not splitting tens at high counts?

[mofungoo]

Splitting 10s at the proper count is worth slightly over 0.1%, a significant gain. I split 10s only once this century, the play generates too much heat.

[RS]

What about the LOSS in longevity that results from splitting tens? Does the 0.1% gain in EV counter-act the loss of play time? Those are rhetorical questions, by the way.

I do it in Spanish-never Blackjack.

After a 10-split or A,9 double down, my session ends as soon as the count tanks, which it usually does after the 10-split.
