Should you split 10s against a 6?
Stand. The book stands on two 10s against every dealer card.
Why
Two 10s make 20. Against a 6 the dealer goes over 21 43.9% of the time, ties a 20 11.0%, and ends on 21, the one finish that beats you, 10.6%.
Splitting breaks up a 20 to start two hands on 10. The book stands on 20 against every dealer card.
When the answer changes
This one doesn't change. Every rule set the chart covers stands on two 10s against a 6: one, two, six or eight decks, the dealer hitting or standing on soft 17, with or without double after split and surrender.
The full basic strategy chart for six decks, dealer hits soft 17, with every other rule set a tap away.
Questions
Should you split 10s against a 7?
No. Against a 7 the book stands on two 10s. A dealer showing a 7 goes over 21 26.2% of the time.
Is it different at a single-deck table?
No. At the app's table with a single deck, the book still stands. So does every rule set the chart covers.
