Blackjack Pair of 7s vs Dealer 3
Basic strategy: Split the pair.
For 6-deck blackjack where the dealer stands on soft 17 (S17), with double-after-split and late surrender — the Vegas Strip S17 rules.
Pair of 7s plays better as two hands than one against a dealer 3. Split the pair so each card starts a fresh hand instead of being stuck together in a single weak total.
