This graphic displays the strategy that you should use when deciding whether to split a pair.
A player is said to have a soft hand when one of the cards is an ace, and its
value can equal either 1 or 11 without the hand’s total being greater than 21.
The hand is soft because the ace gives you two values for your one hand.
