Do you split 4s against an ace?

Without regard to the S17 and H17 rules, single-deck blackjack players are advised to split their 4s versus the dealer's 4, 5, and 6 and hit versus the rest of the possible exposed cards (2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, and ace) but only on condition they can double after they split.

Can you split 3 aces?
Hitting split aces is usually also prohibited as it yields an advantage of 0.19% for the player in multiple-deck blackjack. Regrettably, most gambling venues and online casinos allow only a single card to be drawn next to each split ace.

Should you split 4s against 2?
A pair of 4s should not be split either, as a total of 8 is a good number to draw to. Generally, 2s, 3s, or 7s can be split unless the dealer has an 8, 9, ten-card, or ace. Finally, 6s should not be split unless the dealer's card is poor (2 through 6).

When should you split aces?
Always split
Cards with a value of ten are plentiful in blackjack, so it makes sense to split a pair of aces. If you don't split your aces, one is given a value of one and the other a value of 11. This means only a nine can take you to 21 on your next card.
