Split a Hand in a Game of Blackjack

Hi! This is Daniel on behalf of Expert Village in this clip we’re going to be talking about the strategy known as splitting or to split a hand in 21. For example the player is dealt two Aces, the best they can do is a 12 so they decide to split the hand, they have to equal their wager and now they have two separate hands which the dealer will now deal one card per each hand. Being dealt a 10 and a soft 17 they choose to stand on the 21 and hit on the soft 17, with the 3 card they got a soft 20 beating the dealers 19. They’re paid double one for each hand, now remember a player may split a pair of cards only before they have received a hit.
