Playing 6 decks, pen at 75%. DOA DAS using KO.
Allowed to split 3 X.

Count is at plus 8 and i'm playing 2 hands with max bet on the table on both hands. (15 units each)

Question one: Dealer has picture showing.
On one hand i'm pat.
On 2nd hand I have a pair of 8's.

Do I split them or treat as 16 and not take a card?

Question two: Same as above, but on 2nd hand I have Ace 7 for soft 18. Do I take the card or stand on my soft 18.

Much appreciated,

Hollywood
