You are helping the dealer when you split 10s


Unless there is someone counting cards, there's really no way of knowing if the next card after splitting will help me or the dealer. Let's say I have two tens and the next action goes to the dealer who is showing a 9. If I don't split, and there are people who have 17/18, that next card could be a 10 or face. I'd get bitched at for not splitting and letting the dealer win.

That is the point. You are splitting up a hand that only one outcome can beat for double your money at a lesser chance. Your expected value instantly becomes less.

Then they don't know how to play the game and you shouldn't give two shits.
