Also get tons of shit when I hit my 12s vs dealer 2s and 3s. I am consistent and always do it and it technically is the correct play. Only time I dont hit is when the deck is +2 or better.

I've been thinking, but can't figure out why 9's are a split vs. 8 or 9 but not a 7. Unless you meant 7-10 and not 7,10,A.

i apoligize after you posted that link i did some investigation of my own... you are right that thats the play according to the book.im very surprised i consider myself as by the book as you can get. i hit my cards when im suppose to hit,i stay when im suppose to stay.. double down and split(except obviously in this case) when im suppose to.. etc..

that being said i dont agree with that play.. yes there is a solid chance i will bust hitting my 12...BUT i also wont have double the money up when i split 6s..which if we are honest.. a pair of 6s against a dealers 2 is a pretty shitty hand.. so why put more money on the table... id rather get more money on table when the dealer is showing 4,5,6.. thats when the player is at a real advantage..

from reading your other pasts i agree with every other strategy especially the 9's...

again i apolgize casue when i did the reasearch to my surprise your way was the play

Never split 6's against a dealer 2.  You'll just lose more on the average.  If you do that all the time, you will lose more as opposed to just hitting the 12.  You would only hit it once because once you reach 13 you should stand against a dealer 2. 

As for betting systems, there are no successful betting systems out there unless can use a counting system.  Period.  This is an undisputable fact.

With all due respect you are wrong woodsy.  Look up basic strategy. 

      Why do I hear people saying all the time that there are more 10 value cards in a shoe than anything else?  There are only 16 of those in a deck of cards.  The other 36 cards (69% of the deck) are 2-9 and aces. 

     I hear people say this all the time and it simply isn't true.  I understand there are more 10's than 9's and that there are more 10's than there are 8's and so on, but at the same time, you only have a 31% chance of getting a 10 value card unless the count favors you.
