One could argue that you are throwing away a decent hand for a chance at 2 bad hands. However, basic strategy states that you should stand on 12 or more if dealer is showing a 5 or 6. So by logic, you will definitely have 12 or more. I always split 10s against a dealer 5 or 6. Most people do not agree with me, but I see it as a way to get more money on the table.

It's less than half the time. I'd imagine that number is less in Spanish 21. You take the 20 and be happy. With a 6 showing, the dealer busts less often than most people think.

They take all the Queens out. You never split faces because 20 is a winning hand, same reason you don't split 5's or 4's, 10 and 8 are good doubling hands, but 20 is a good sticking hand. Best hands to split in blackjack (not sure about spanish 21, i don't play house games) 8's and aces. Remember they play with a stripped deck in spanish 21. They take all the Queens out.
