Pair of 2s vs Dealer 9: Hit

You're dealt a pair of 2s. The dealer shows a 9. Split or play it as one hand? Basic strategy answers:

HIT
Basic strategy · multi-deck · dealer stands on soft 17 · double after split allowed

A dealer 9 is too strong to justify splitting 2s — you'd just be doubling your exposure with two weak hands. Play the pair as a normal total of 4 instead: hit.
