    Do you split tens if?

    You are dealt a pair of tens for 20.
    If you know the next card (only one card) is a ten-valued one.

    Would you split tens if the dealer upcard is 4, 5, 6 or 7?

    What dealer upcards would you not split against? 9, 10, A for sure. How about the rest?

    Assumption: 8 decks, S17

    When TC is two or three points higher than threshold. The bigger difference above the threshold, the higher player's advantage is. When TC is just about the index threshold, it is about 50/50.

    I split TT vs 5 or 6 only. Even then it's when the play is triggered by the count and to convey a steaming posture.

    Generally speaking,

    I would split against a 4,5,or 6 with a TC of 0 or higher, KNOWING the NEXT card was a 10.

    Based on the count you only split 10s on a dealers 2-6 up-card. On rare occasions you can split against a dealers 7 on or at about the same index you would double A9vs7. But again thats only at absurdly high TCs.

    Generally I split 10's on the second Tuesday of the week when the moon is in the seventh heaven.

    The last time I split 10s was about 20 years ago. I require a specific set of conditions for a 10s split, and those conditions don't present themselves often.
