Blackjack Pair of 10s vs Dealer 10
Basic strategy: Stand.
For 6-deck blackjack where the dealer stands on soft 17 (S17), with double-after-split and late surrender — the Vegas Strip S17 rules.
A dealer showing 10 is in a weak spot — it busts more often than it makes a pat hand. Pair of 10s only needs the dealer to break, so you stand and let them draw into the bust rather than risk busting the total you want to keep.
