Pair of 6s vs dealer 2 in blackjack—hit or split? Newbie needs help!

AndrewKornix

So, blackjack strategy advice? I’ve been there. Last night was wild—had a 12, dealer’s upcard was a 2. What a tough spot, right? With a pair of 6s, do you hit or split? Man, I remember being new to this and totally stressing over these calls. Can’t wait to hear what you think and swap stories

Yes, for hitting a 12 against the dealer’s 2. But no to splitting 6’s.

12 against 2 hit
Splitting 6’s only against 4, 5, 6

Split 6s against a 2 go there to gamble 12 against a 2 is a thorn in my side it can go either way I make the wrong decision 80% of the time

You hit it, don’t split it.

Basic strategy is derived from millions of simulations. How many hands does the average blackjack player complete in a lifetime?

Follow the math. The probability.
You have 12 vs dealer 2 or 3.
The count may shift things slightly.
Basic strategy says hit 12v2.
Never split that hand.
Simple.

Always hit a 12 with a 2 or 3 showing

Split 6’s 2 6… if allowed to double after split and split 6’s 4 6, if not allowed to double after split… 12 vs 2 is one of the illustrious 18 deviations I believe the index is +1… Higher you stand… and lower you hit.

You know, I’ve decided I’m totally going to double down every single time the dealer is showing an 8 or less. Seriously, I’ll double on a 12, no question about it. And honestly, why wouldn’t you want to double your money? Oh, come on let’s split that, for real!

So, the dealer hits on soft 17 and it’s a 4 8 deck game. You’re actually gonna win more in the long run if you split your 6’s against a dealer 2! Pretty cool, right?!

CybroXy

No split
12 against 2. Just be consistent Don’t switch every time

Zerokraze

Yes, split the six.

Against a two, it’s a toss up for me.

It depends how I feel and what cards are out.

Hit the 12, I always split. You may get some doubles.

SoundwaveCork

Splt 6 vs 2 and hit 12 vs 2 if you are not counting

Riffmaster88

Okay, so you always want to hit the 12 when the dealer has a 2 or 3. And splitting 6’s is a must, honestly. If the count happens to be in your favor, well, that’s where you can really boost your chances. You should be splitting those 6’s against any dealer card from 2 through 6. That’s just basic strategy right there, before you even think about the count.

Hit 12 against dealer 2 or 3. Split sixes against dealer 2 through 6. Sometimes get grief when the 10 comes. Try to be consistent.

StarLordSailor

I would take a hit on that 12 and split those 6s
