Q: I was watching the blackjack movie 21, and at one point,
during a discussion at a coffee shop, one of the players said "It
would be fine to split eights against a five or six, but you
don't split them against a ten where you'll end up with two
losing hands." I've never seen a basic strategy that didn't
advocate splitting 8s against everything, but it's never seemed
like a sound move to me. Plus, LVA wrote that this movie is
technically sound, at least on the math and card-counting
explanations. So what's the reality on splitting 8s against a
ten?
