[00:00] When you're dealt a pair of eights in blackjack, this is one hand that most people know how to play correctly. You've probably heard it said that you should always split aces and eights, and that is absolutely true, okay? A pair of eights should split against every dealer's up card.
[00:14] Doesn't matter if it's a two, three, four, or a 10 value card or an ace, right? Against a 10 value card or an ace, yes, you are likely to lose, but if you split, you will lose less in the long run
