Playing a pair of 6's in Blackjack
What is the correct strategy for playing my pair of fours in Blackjack? You should always split your pair when the dealer has a 2, 3, 4, 5 or a 6 showing and hit your hand when the dealer's up card is a 8, 9, 10 or a Ace. If the dealer's up card is a seven, the best strategy would be to hit your hand in Atlantic City or European Blackjack and split the pair of sixes in Vegas Downtown or Vegas Strip Blackjack variations.


| Blackjack Variations | Dealer's up Card | |||||||||
| 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | A | |
| Atlantic City | S | S | S | S | S | H | H | H | H | H |
| European | S | S | S | S | S | H | H | H | H | H |
| Vegas Downtown | S | S | S | S | S | S | H | H | H | H |
| Vegas Strip | S | S | S | S | S | S | H | H | H | H |
H = Hit, S = Stand, S = Split
