Splitting tens in blackjack?

Question

There's a rule that says never split tens, but I think it could be profitable if the dealer's face card is a 2 through 6. Am I right?

Answer 1

I never split tens because it always puts you in a tricky position as if you end up splitting and then get the following

10-4

10-5

this is a very tricky situation as its low enough to be beaten easily and can force you to hit again and bust.

Answer 2

YES !!! don't ever split 10's

Answer 3

I always split tens. Who doesn't? I haven't heard of that rule. Remembering back though, I haven't always had success.

edit - Ok, I don't play much blackjack but I am very good at maths.

Answer 4

According to the basic stratergy, you should never do that.  No matter what the dealer is holding.
