Spurred by impulse, intuition or inebriation (logically, I knew better), I split 10's against a dealer 6. Gee, I thought I was gonna get mugged by the whole table! Thankfully, the dealer busted, so everybody won, including both my hands - but I've never split 10's, again. I remember it had a different, more casual and easy-going feel than the Vegas casinos.
