Only one card after splitting Aces??

I don't know if it's a house rule at where I was playing but I was at Meadows in PA and I only got one card after splitting Aces on each hand. This may be a stupid question but I'm fairly new to being a BJ player and this confused me , actually, it hurt me too because I lost both hands. How does this rule effect players advantage also?

I've never played in a game which will allow you to draw to split aces. That would be a carnie-type rule, like being able to double on any number of cards. If a game allows you to draw to split aces, it probably screws you over in some other way.
Some games will let you re-split aces if you catch another ace. This rule is generally referred to as "RSA" when people are describing a game.

One card to split aces is normal in blackjack. In contrast, you can play out split aces at Spanish21 in most places.

You know this already, but for completeness, I'll add that Spanish 21 can allow drawing to split aces due to the lack of 10s in the shoe.
Casinos are not your friends, they want your money. But so does Disneyland.
And there is no chance in hell that you will go to Disneyland and come back with more money than you went with.

Quote: IbeatyouracesThere is only two places I know that let you receive more than one card on split aces and that is Little River and The Kewadin Casinos. They allow you to double after splitting aces but you cannot hit. I've mentioned this before. Also Kewadin allows late surrender. The 6d game is also a S17 game for a HE of about .15%
Wow, that is a great game. Good pen? Decent max bet?

I have minimal casino experience right now , but is it typical to go through shoes without ever fluctuating your bet because the count isn't calling for it? I went through 4 or 5 shoes without the TC going above +1.... As for those automatic shuffle machines (not continuous shuffler they have no effect on the game correct?

That would seem to be a disadvantage for the house.
If you didn't draw a paint the first time around, you want another not-paint the second time around. Having fewer ten value cards should make it easier for the player to make a hand.
Doubling, rather than hitting, might be a bit of a disadvantage. Not sure if redouble after split is allowed, but that could be quite useful.
May the cards fall in your favor.

Hmmm... I have some ideas. I'd rather not give away all my secrets here :)

Wait, this is in Canada? I thought that they couldn't back you off in Canada?
$200 Canadian is, like, a US green chip, right?

Closer to $190.
Some people need to reimagine their thinking.
