A good option to give you more flexibility and increase your earnings potential is splitting. When you draw two of the same cards you are able to 'split' them and play each card as a single hand. This is best done when you draw two higher cards with two aces being the perfect pairing. The split increases your initial bet but also increases your winnings.

Yes, splitting your hand is a great way to quickly increase your earnings potential. The more hands you have in play, the more opportunities that you have to win. I split almost every time I get the chance to take it. It does increase your stake but it's worth taking the risk.
Letha said:I've also heard about resplitting which gives you the potential to win four hands or double the bet for each hand. How common is it to be able to resplit your hands like this? I bet you could make a pretty good profit if you won something like that.
Yes, you are able to resplit and I have done this a few times. By combining splitting and doubling down your winnings potential can increase greatly. You also greatly increase your stake, the key is to make a decision based on whatever card the dealer is showing. For example, a 6 or 7 is a green light.
