When playing blackjack, it’s important to have a good pair. A perfect pair is two cards of the same rank, such as a two of clubs or a two of spades.
Aces are the most common card in a perfect pair, but any two cards of the same rank are fair game.
When playing with a perfect pair, the player has an advantage over the dealer. Because the dealer must hit or stand on any given turn, he is more likely to lose when he has a perfect pair.
For this reason, casinos generally pay higher rates for perfect pairs than for any other type of hand. In general, casinos will pay anywhere from 2 to 6 times the normal blackjack rate for a perfect pair.
