The money is not made by being too anal on standing or hitting 16. It's a crap hand regardless. The money rolls in from the big doubles and splits and naturals you get over time.
I mean I get that you wouldn't want to take a risk on splitting 10vs5,6 or even 4. But 16vs 10 is a low bet play that reduces SCORE significantly if you always stand. Unless you're camping out at a table for hours, it's unlikely the EITS will scrutinize your game enough to determine in inconsistency in this particular play. No?
I mean 12v5,6 are crap hands as well that are much easier for the EITS or dealer to spot. SCORE doesn't change much at all if you always stand.
As the OP mentioned, 16 vs 10 is #2 on Don S ill 18. This is also an opportunity to interact with the dealer. At 0, let them make the call.
So Don S. IYO. How much reduction in SCORE should be sacrificed on this particular hand to always stand?
