Took me a while to realize that only way to have "Soft 12" is "A-A"...
I would say that if you are genius and can do perfect counting all cards or maybe some bizzare counting system, there would be situations, where is acutaly better to HIT on AA Than SPLIT, especialy with rule that you cannot hit splitted Aces, but definitelly its better to split Aces than DD on them(Ofc if you 100% know that 9 is coming....)
There could be rule, than you can DD on Splited Aces, but I doubt that, the Edge casino would loose would be enormous...

You don't need a bizarre system to do this. All point count systems will tell you not to split aces vs. 8, 9, T, and Ace, with reasonably attainable negative true counts. For Hi-Lo, for example, those values are -9, -8, -9, and -4, respectively. As often discussed, note that Wong's indices are all one higher, as he truncated, and I floored.

When resplitting is not allowed, Double A-A vs 6 (if allowed) if:
(s17) number of decks <= 12
(h17) always
otherwise hit
When resplitting is not allowed, Double A-A vs 5 (if allowed) if:
(s17) decks <= 2
(h17) decks <= 2
otherwise hit
hit A-A vs 4 if resplit is not allowed, do not double

Sorry Don, why do you say that the answer does not correspond to the question?
If you are not allowed to re-split aces but you are allowed to hit or double down after splitting the first pair of aces dealt, I think K_C's answer is correct.
In that case we are facing a true soft-12.
Sincerely,

You don't state the rules, but for using 6D S17 I get the following indices to double A,A when you can't split:
A,A vs 3: +9
A,A vs 4: +4
A,A vs 5: +1
A,A vs 6: 0
For 6D H17, I get
A,A vs 3: +8
A,A vs 4: +4
A,A vs 5: +1
A,A vs 6: 0
These data were extracted from the sims I ran to generate indices for the upcoming book from Don and I. Too be fair, though, these specific plays are not discussed.
I should add the the above is for games where you can hit after splitting aces, as hwjman stated. It is not the same as the UP Michigan games MWP described, where your only choices are to double or stand. You can find the correct strategy for those games at

Note that for most hands which you would normally hit, the correct strategy is to double for as little as possible.
