I play at a casino that offers unlimited ace splits(only place in the world?. I asked Andy Bloch if there is a significant gain in edge from this rule. He didn't think there would be, but he has been out of the game for a while. So, pros, what is the gain? Thanks for your input ahead of time.

In a 6 decks shoe game, splitting Ace twice (3 hands) gives you an additionnal edge over basic strategy of 0.059%. Being allowed to split 3 times (4 hands) boosts that edge to 0.069%. Due to its rare frequency, being able to split Aces an unlimited number of time shouldn't give you more than 0.07% over basic strategy. A gain of $0.07 for every $100 bet.
This said, the fact that you are counting cards, you will place more money in high counts where more Aces are available and the effect of the rule will probably be a little better but don't expect much. To get a clear view, you'll have to simulate with a particular penetration and bet spread you.
At Casino Hambourg, Germany too, till the end of the table.
E.H.
1)some places in the world allow to RSA infinitely.[defintion of some here>100]

Cool, Hombre. I have never encountered it anywhere else. Now I can quit wondering! Perhaps someday I'll get to swing through Hambourg to see it.
Thanks, Gman. I have never seen it split to more than five hands. And seven is the record that I've heard of. This crazy game of ours.
Where is your "here", SCA? I intend to hit the circuit someday. I was just curious. I have observed that our earth is quite large as well.
