What happens if you get 2 aces in Black Jack?
Splitting aces in blackjack In blackjack, having two aces is great, but not perfect. You can, like any other pair, split and play two different hands. While it is likely one will end up being 21, many casinos do not count this as a natural blackjack, so you get paid 1:1 rather than the usual 3:2.
Do you hit on a 12 against a 2?
Traditional basic strategy (also known as “total-dependent strategy”) says to stand on hard 12 against a dealer’s 4, 5, and 6 up card, and hit against a dealer’s 2, 3, and 7 though Ace up card.
