Yes, betting should be at a minimum when the count has less 10's in it then there should be. But when the minimum is being bet, I am not as concerned about my counting cover being blown. One time I remember being dealt 6's against a 4 - not only did I not split, but I actually hit instead of staying. Yeah it looks awkward and other players at the table might complain, but that's how it goes.
