option to split identically ranked cards to play as seperate hands.
to double down on a hand with an Ace as part of the original hand. Stand - not requiring any more cards
An option the player has with two original cards of the same denomination (4s, 8s etc.) of splitting the two cards and playing each hand individually.
Another way of saying Split Hand. Again, the option to split oneâ€(tm)s first two cards (when they are of the same value) into two hands and play them separately.
when a player gets 2 cards of the same value, he can split them into two hands, and play each one like a new hand.
When a player's first two cards are numerically identical, and the player chooses to split the pair, creating two individual hands. 7-7 is a pair. 10-10 is a pair. Q-Q is a pair. 10-Q is NOT generally considered a pair. When you split a pair, you add a new bet to the second hand, the same amount of the original bet. You play each hand individually, one at a time. The request is usually made by simple doubling the bet. The dealer understands this to mean that you want to Split the pair. Split Aces are usually only allowed one hit each.
The player's option to separate cards of equal rank, such as pairs, and play each hand separately. For splitting purposes 10-value cards are considered pairs.
