Splitting Tens in Blackjack

Video Transcript

"Hi, now I’m going to also show you what it means to split tens. Here we have a twenty, again tens constitute, kings, queens, jacks or regular tens. You can split a twenty, but most often, the exception to the rule; is most times people do not split a twenty, because twenties are a great hand in itself. But I want to let you know, that any two cards that represent a ten, even though they don’t match, like here for example, the kings match, they can split kings if they like. Then again as I’ve said you just start whatever the bet is, the player matches the bet, you start with the card on the left, continue as, as they’d like, then you go to the card on the right. Okay, so let me show you here, here’s a queen and ten, even though they’re two different types of cards you can still split them. Why? Because they both represent a ten, even though they don’t match. So here they’re splitting, and again, most people don’t split a twenty, but if they’d like, that is true, each card represents a ten and they may split those also. "
