    Doubledown after resplit aces

    Pretty basic BJ question.

    I know that if there is no RSA, you get 1 and only 1 card after splitting aces.

    If a table has RSA can you double down afterwards or hit at any point?

    Typically you get 1 card only to split aces in standard BJ making it a 2 card hand. If you find a game that allows you to play after that the rule is very beneficial.

    No rsa normally means you can split again if you get another ace but you can't hit or double.
    This should not be in the disadvantage forum.

    no rsa (re-splitting aces) means you can re-split aces?
    I think you're mistaken

    I was missing a comma. RSA means you can resplit aces ,so if you split ace ace and get another ace you can split it again.But if you get any other card the hand is over you can't hit again or double down.

    As far as i know RSA means your allowed to split up to 4 times Vs the traditional 1 time split(2 hands) No Splitting Aces means you cant split at all and NRSA means no Multiple Splits..


    • Resplit Aces – Adding this rule allows resplitting of a pair of aces. This rule is less common but more common than most people think. Advantage is 0-.1 depending on other rules. In shoe games, this rule is quite valuable for card counters and is often seen with late surrender games in Las Vegas.
    • Multiple draw after split Aces – Most casinos will allow only one card drawn to each split hand after splitting aces. A few allow additional draws. Advantage is about .1.
    • Double after split Aces Several casinos now allow splitting aces and then doubling down on them. Either from a defensive standpoint (getting a lousy hit and double for table min hoping to get a good card) or from an offensive standpoint where it would be a double if it had occurred on your first two cards.


    And unless im mistakeh here, your probably more than likely to be restricted to the traditional way of only splitting aces once if Multiple Draw or Double after split is allowed....

    As far as doubling after split Aces is concerned, im not exactly sure if a card has to be taken first(most likely) or you can take both hands as Hard Eleven(11) which of course would be better than doubling as a soft-hand..

    NO Jake, ordinarily you cannot take any action on the Split Aces

    and some places will not permit a further split to four (4) hands.

    Note: You can do so in Spanish21 and in some other BJ variants.

    ZMF there are casinos that allow you to take a hit on your split aces. The only thing you must do is make another bet. If you split aces for $100 and are sitting at a $10 dollar table you must put a minimum of $10 or a maximum of $100 to receive the next card. Also allows you to double down. So it all depends where you play at. This is regular BJ.

    I am hunching that LESS than 1% of casinos will permit a player to take ANY action on a "split ace"

    If you are not mentioning one or more casinos by name your comment is of profoundly non-informative.

    Mentioning the casino or casinos name would be counter productive. All I can tell you is that they are in the USA. If it is any solace to you I would say you are right on about 1%.

    Okay, I will mention 7 casinos by name located in northern MI. The Kewadin casino has dsa which means you can only split your aces once and will get another card on each ace, but then to get a third card you can double down, and the nice thing is you can double for less as long as it is table min up to the amount of your bet. Table min is only $5 at Kewadin. Also Kewadin is S17 and has late surrender on their six deck game. There are four Kewadin casinos and all have same rules.

    Bay Mills casino has this rule and so does Turtle Creek casino and Leelanau Sands casino. So there are 7 out 23 casinos in MI that has this rule and that is 30%
