- In most versions of Blackjack, when you are dealt a pair (two of the same card), you have the option to split them into two new hands. You are dealt two more cards (one for each new hand) and your bet is doubled. You play each hand normally — you get two chances to beat the dealer (or lose).
- When playing any Blackjack game you are going to get dealt out all manner of card combinations as your first two cards. When playing poker games an initial two card hand many players will be hoping are dealt out to them are a pair of Aces, and that hand combination can often be a very beneficial one for blackjack players too.
Basic Strategy Guide
General Strategy Guides:A pair of aces gives the blackjack player a starting hand value of either a 2 or a soft 12 which is a problematic starting hand in either case. Splitting aces gives a player two chances to hit 21. Splitting aces is so favorable to the player that most gambling establishments have rules limiting the player's rights to do so.

Why to split aces
Basic blackjack strategy says that since there are more tens in play than any other value, the chances of drawing a ten are much higher. Since the ace counts as either 1 or 11 points, then drawing a ten would automatically win a blackjack. A pair of aces is the best possible hand to have for splitting because the payouts of a blackjack are 3:2 rather than 1:1.
Aces are rarer to get than tens. In some cases, you can split aces and then get two more aces. This means it may be possible to split again and hope for four blackjacks. These are the most exciting hands to get with the best mathematical odds in blackjack.
