    For the same reason you would make any decision in BJ - because it's mathematically the best play.

    I agree. Part of making the right decision is about weighing certainty not purely chasing EV. Another aspect is avoiding heat. Splitting T,T draws a target on you enough already without trying to double the 21 it gets you. Part of winning is being allowed to play. How much EV is worth losing the ability to play?
