I have come across some conflicting advice on Basic Strategy.
On a pair of 2�s and a pair of 3�s. Should you split vs. 2-7 or split vs. 4-7?
On a pair of 6�s. Should you split vs. 3-6 or 2-6?
Thanks for any opinion.
I will be playing at the Bellagio, Barbary Coast, and at Ballys. So I am not sure if you can DAS after split or not at these casinos. The only thing I do know is that I will be playing with six decks.
are almost all DAS.
I think the DD games at those places are also, but I am not 100% sure.
In double deck, you would split 22 & 33 vs 2-7 and 66 vs 7 and 77 vs 8 with DAS. If no DAS, split 22 vs 3-7 and 33 vs 4-7. In the shoe games, split 66 vs 2-6 and 77 vs 2-7. Personally with 44, I split against 4 only with a +1 or better, otherwise I hit. This is contrary to computer analysis, but it's a close call regardless.

Yes it is a close call. But why not do what is best even if it is ever so slight? Why would you not split 4/4 against 5 or 6 on a DAS game? Only reason I can think of is if the C was way high, it should possibly be doubled. I don't know what the index number would be though.
The EV on a 4/4 split is even better against 5 & 6 rather than against a 4.
.....that he always splits 4/4 against 5 or 6. He is only talking about against the 4 situation. If DAS is allowed you should never double 4/4. It will profit money, but splitting will profit you more.
I thought I remember hearing about or seeing a high index number that would double 4/4 rather than split it even with DAS. Anybody know for sure?
