Lesson 4 · The Moves

Split — Splitting the Pair

If you have two cards of the same value, you can split: place a second equal bet and play two separate hands.

Split can turn a mediocre hand into two better hands — but it's not always worth it.

✓ Split

Always split — two hands starting from 11 are extremely strong.

✓ Stand

Never split — hard 20 wins almost always, don't risk it.
