  • A soft hand is one where you have an Ace valued at 11, therefore a "soft 17" is an Ace and a Six card. This works out this way because an ace can be valued as a 1 or an 11. If the ace is valued as a 1, then the hand is considered "hard." To the other question, you can only split a hand when you have two cards of the same value including Aces as demonstrated, and only before you have "hit." Essentially you would split just after you have been dealt your cards if you so choose.

  • what does the term soft mean please?

  • the hit thing confuses me. So you cannot spilt your cards unless YOU have asked for a 'hit' at some point, and you hit when you want 1 more card that you believe will bring you closer to 21 ?? yeah?? or if you ask for a 'hit' do you get 2 more cards???

  • thnx, that was very clear man!
