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.
