I keep getting an strategy error in drills -
When I get a pair of 8's against an A and I choose split I get an strategy error that says I should surrender against an A, because it is a hard 16, which would be true if it was any other combination but a pair of 8's. According to the split table 8's should be split on 2-A, which agrees with the KO book. I do not understand why it is not 'defaulting' to split the pair rather than surrendering the hand. I can't figure out either what I don't understand, as I am a beginner, or how to change this so I don't get the error on this choice. I just received the software a few days ago and I have searched the book trying to find an answer to this; however, much of the book is over my head because I am still very new at this.

Thank you.
