    Lucrative rule?

    I've been to a casino recently where you get paid 3-2 if you land an ace on a split ten and I'm wondering how much this is worth. Would anyone know the hi-lo indices for splitting tens with this rule?
    This casino also has ES10, doa, das, ENHC and an automatic win with a pay-off of 2-1 on 7-7-7. Can anyone help with he on the total package?

    According to Wong's Basic Blackjack, it isn't worth anything to the BS player, because it's not right to split tens even if catching aces pays 3:2. Obviously, there are indices for splitting tens to begin with, and if you get paid 3:2 for catching an ace, that would lower those indices slightly, but not to the point where the play becomes BS.

    Clear?

    Im Kinda surprised by the fact that this isnt a BS play vs. a dealer 5 or 6 since its a automatic 3/2 pay-off.. I guess the difference and reasoning would be between "that" theres not a whole lot of EV to be gained between an un-beatable 21(non-automatic winner) and a automatic 3/2 pay-off... Interestingly enough however, i am curios how much this play would actually lower the index for Ho2.
