HM options 7-T, T-J in that order. I see no appeal in 4-6 to my own crib. I chose the J over the T because of the tendency of opp to keep the J rather than throwing it over the board, and my priority is to stop their pegging.

I assume so. dec says: I got this book in e4arly spring. I have been on this site for quite a while. A record log keeping journal. dec fentesk says: Oof, my pegging on the first two hands went poorly. I didn't want to pair the opening lead on hand 1 and that turned out to be a bad call. I left the hand 26-14 compared to your 34-11. The next hand was even worse. I "salvaged" a 121-92 win but those early pegging losses cost me. Yesterday pegging went well and I was 1 point shy of getting a score that would have been Top 10 for First Plays. I gave back any good pegging delta karma today. Inushtuk1 says: Hey James. I hope you are well. Congrats on that impressive skunk win in the Daily Scrimmage. I did okay as well. But not as well as you. 121-86. The only difference was my discard of (J-8) on Deal 2, and (A-7) on Deal 6. |

Wasn’t real sure about the 4-6 to crib. Considered TJ as well. Went with flush to hold more points in hand |

Been involved in comebacks for and against. Great keep the only fallback. If they received a similar hand this could harbor a skunk opportunity. Playing to win here, a remote chance they have this type of hand. Play on for the first count chance to be close. dec |

At this position, looking for a miracle 5 cut. Yikes, we got it. Now need to peg aggressively. fentesk says: Out of interest, if you knew for certain the cut was going to be a 5, would this be your hold? Does the pegging and 5-10-J crib start make up for the extra point (combined 18 vs 19) the 4-5-6 hand/crib would have? mfetchCT425 says: I like the pegging potential and slightly more decent (bingo-like) cuts with the 4-5-6-7 compared to 5-7-10-J suited. I think it’s close though. |

4-6 to the crib when a 5 is already out there seemed risky. Odds of pone tossing a 5 are slim. Suited 10-J ain’t bad. Bingo cut! |

My crib, not their crib. Oops.
Might have held the flush then. But I wanted the 456 for a potential big hand. Unsure it i would have tossed the TJ instead. Would have turned out better.... |

We need a hand and a crib, this arrangement seems best. |

This one felt best to me. The flush was tempting but holding a 5, I didn't like the 4, 6 to the crib. 10, J would have been my second choice. |

We're the Dealer, trailing Pone by a Dozen Holes, and our Opponent has already rounded onto Fourth Street, giving us a severe disadvantage in this game. 🛴
It's another RUN vs FLUSH vs Dual-Fifteen-Two-Hand endgame decision, and I tend to like these as listed, and in decreasing order. 🚤 The Four-Card-Run of (4 5 6 7) gets help from all but Four Cut Cards (AAAA), and stands to grow to reach a Dozen Points or more after a Dozen Cuts (444, 555, 666, 777), which is 12/46 equals 0.261 or with about a 26% chance of occurring. 🌴 This Four-Card-Run of (4 5 6 7) may only begin with Six Points in our Hand, yet Toss (T J) sends Touching Cards into our Box with a Crib Value of about 4.61 Points. The FLUSH would begin with Eight Points in our Hand, but Toss (4 6) pales in comparison with a Crib Value of about 3.85 Points, while if we Keep (4 5 6 J), which begins with Seven Points, then Toss (7 T) is even worse, with a Crib Value of about 3.23 Points (all values, Schell). Of the three discard ideas, only Toss (T J) makes sense. 🚙 Let's Toss (T J) today, and hold on tightly to the Four-Card-Run of (4 5 6 7). After the lovely 5 of Hearts Cut Card, we now have Fourteen Points in our Hand, and if Pone gave us something as seemingly innocuous at Toss (9 T) or Toss (5 9), we could actually end up with as much or more in our Crib, which means that if we can peg a few holes first, we may be able to 'conquer' an entire street by the completion of this deal! 🌉 Wordle 1,481 4/6 📘 ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟨 ⬛⬛⬛🟩⬛ 🟨🟩⬛⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 |

Wanting to be dealing from 96, we are very far behind and in big trouble. Several reasonable choices. This one has the most upside and must be the best pegger. |

Recall that Ras councils not to play for a favorable cut. He also councils that his rules and axioms apply 95% of the time. This score puts the 5% of the time in play. AND 💥 a five cut Eolus619 says: upon further review ..this score reminds me of what a dear friend would say when the fish were not biting…”this is almost as bad as the time it was no good.” |

Thw flush is ugly to me, and no sense in balking my own crib.Keeping the points and run possibilities in both hand and crib. |

At 80*-92 playing an Offense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:
_________________Our Offense____Hand__Pegs_Crib_Total____W2 %___W3 % 4-5-6-7______9.57+3.87+4.31=17.75____2.3____7.4 5-7-10-J____10.85+3.09+3.68=17.62____1.6____7.3 4-5-6-10_____9.74+3.72+3.31=16.77____1.0____6.2 4-5-6-J______9.93+3.72+3.01=16.66____1.1____6.5 Offense________L2 %___L3 % 4-5-6-7_________31.9___80.1 5-7-10-J________31.0___80.7 4-5-6-10________31.1___80.9 4-5-6-J_________30.4___80.3 4-5-6-7 is best for expected averages by 0.13pt. and is slightly best for Win %s and joint second lowest for Loss %s. So, I'll select the 10-J to discard. After the 5 cut I'll play Offense to the lead. |

I overestimated the (4-6) in my crib. Eolus619 says: Assman..the flush is a legit choice..re read JQT comments to see what he said about the 4567 …dealer crib can get the left overs ..as to 4-6 …not likely Pone tosses a five and you also have one .. icribbage is a crazy game ..with only two fives unaccounted for ..one gets cut |
