Agree with dec tossing 3-T today and holding the two pairs. Hand has a three card eleven. Guest says: Pears |

If we can coax another Four or Five Points as Pone here, we might be able to jump aboard the next train and shorten this game by a complete Deal Cycle. IF IF IF . . .
Therefore, even though Keep (A A 9 9) and Toss (3 T) is much more *defensive* ... and even though it would also definitely peg much better, I'm gonna go with Keep (A A 3 T) and Toss (9 9) today. So There. After that colossally-awful 7 Card Cut, I'll lead the Trey; and who knows ... with any luck (call it 'divine intervention'), maybe the Dealer is holding (A 5 5 T) today, and so perhaps I'll maybe peg, oh, I dunno, around TEN HOLES (whuuuut?!) |

Go big or go home! horus93 says: After the abysmal cut I will switch from all-out offense to cautious offense. I'd lead the 3. If I'm REALLY lucky I can play my aces off of each other late in the first play series.
But that never seems to work when you desperately need it to... |

Don’t pay any attention to that JQT man behind the curtain. He obviously poured *way* too much bourbon on to his Cheerios. ; - ) This is a prime example of Double Run Hope-nosis imho.
See! It’s a good thing I didn’t toss those 9’s over the board with that 7 on the deck. The (7-8) is Dealer’s favourite discard. That may have been the game right there. I see the Magic Eleven but unfortunately won’t be using it on an X-card response. Got to show Dealer the other 9 after leading my 9h, in order to play the Aces back to back. JQT says: While hiding behind that curtain, let's say I noticed that the Dealer is *also* holding (A A 9 9) today! How many combined points might You and the Dealer expecr to peg, and how many of those holes might be Yours? (Ref: "All your peg belongs to us!") And mixing Bourbon with Cereal? They say it really brings out the grain, and accentuates the 'notes' of the Riboflavin. Additionally, it's great in coffee (where it smooths out any bitterness); and it also does wonders in your orange juice (it helps kill harmful bacteria while it simultaneously takes the edge off of that nasty vitamin C). Rosemarie44 says: At Christmas I make eggnog and add a little bourbon and brandy. Delicious. Inushtuk1 says: Hi John. Well let me start off by saying that *usually* the Dealer can find a better way to play the hand than to hold two disparate pairs. That is more likely to be a Pone holding. But there are many exceptions. Here’s one. Dealer deals him/herself A-A-9-9-J-Q. What are ya gonna do? (J-Q) of course. Supposing the score is today’s score. At 56*-56 the Dealer is on defense. If not wishing to engage on my 9 lead the dealer shows me a suited A. I pair it for ((11-2). Dealer wants nothing to do with my Ace and plays a suited 9(20). I pair the 9(29-2). Now he/she drops the other A(30) and I pair it for (31-4). I’ve played out and Dealer gets one for last card,giving me 8 pegs to Dealer’s 1. What’s not to like? And with that 7 on the deck not matching his hand or crib toss, I contend that the Dealer, even on defense might *pair*; or pear for my Guest friend, my 9 lead. You can follow that through to where I end up outpegging the hapless Dealer 22-8. BTW, I heard on Dr Oz that the bourbon negates the effects of the Thiamine, and Niacin in my Fruit Loops, and the vitamin C in my OJ. so I’m taking a sabbatical from the bourbon for the time being. Inushtuk1 says: But brandy and bourbon is okay for my eggnog. After all; it’s Xmas Rosemarie. |

I just can't even come close to accepting A,A,3,T as an option. Trade a pair of 9's for hope? |

Why can't this impartial and randomized starter card program be more beneficial all of us CHOD bloggers? At least the 7 doesn't help the crib much either.
Let's lead alphabetically with the 9h (not that it really matters), and save the Aces for possible late pegging. |

It looks like most people have voted for the Two PAIRS today, so let's respond with a little ditty ... an ode to the Two PEARS:
Eating Your Pears Let's keep our wares And pull out a few chairs For those who owe fares Let's savor some pears. Don't highlight your hairs As to one who still shares Go service your mares! And then eat some pears. I'm as yet unawares Don't children love fairs? So with little-to-no cares Don't be putting on airs. Just eat some more pears. An old woman stares While a young man wears And yet nobody cares! And still nobody dares! To eat just a few pears. Those lingerering lairs From fancy-filled flairs I've avoided your snares With de-riguers. I'll be eating your pears! - j q t - April 2018 |
