It's clearly a bad move. If you're a card counter, the count is sufficiently positive, and you have a ten against a dealers ten, then you double, otherwise you hit. As a basic strategy play, it has a negative expectation, ie, it is a money-loser in the long run. A great reference on this is Basic Blackjack by Stanford Wong. Highly recommended, as is his opus on the Hi-Low count system, Professional Blackjack. He also runs the most proninent site on the web for pro blackjack players, www.bj21.com.
