Lesson 3 · Pairs
For pairs of 2-9 (excluding 5 and 8), the decision depends on the dealer's card and DAS rules.
General rule: split if the dealer is weak (around 2-7), otherwise treat as a hard total.
Split — two hands of 7 against the dealer's 7, both could improve.
Stand — 18 vs dealer's 17, standing is better than splitting.
Hit (not split) — vs 7 the dealer is too strong, treat as hard 12.
Try 8 hands from the category you just studied before the quiz.
Answer 8 out of 10 correctly to continue.
