Blackjack When to split?

No, I'm not asking about when to split with your winnings. When you are dealt two cards of the same value, when should you split them?

I follow the old adage of Aces, not Faces. I'll split two aces, but if I have two face cards I'll normally take the twenty and insurance if offered. So when do you split your hand?

From what I understand, it's always a good idea to split aces but some casinos don't allow the splitting of aces. There are moments when it might be a good idea to split tens like in Face Up blackjack.

I think I'll stick to the basics and only split when I have aces if that is allowed. I don't know any advanced strategies right now so I'll stick to what I know.

The correct time to split any pairs vary by the dealer up card and are all part of Basic Strategy. Learn it and you will know all the correct plays.
