456 is staying in my hand. Felt 7A had the most potential in the crib given the options.

Like the pegging dynamics of the 3457 as dealer-I can lay off a picture lead with my 7-4 magic 11 and then determine if my 5 is safe or not on the next series-we are also open to bingo cuts of 4 or 5 which could propel us onto third street

It's early, I don't see the need for the significant "out" card at this juncture.

Thursday 4:35 AM

I might learn something. I thought A7 was the obvious answer. I need more education.

Thursday 4:45 AM

Options on pegging off lead. Another three or four on cut bonus. Hardly get a hit on an A-7. dec

Thursday 5:44 AM

I felt the averages would say keep 345. Sometimes I'll go against the averages when I can still get some points. My first comment so we'll see what I do wrong on this site.

I just like the 7 in my crib more than the J.

Thursday 6:09 AM

I don't think the J holds any real advantage here so I went for the crib flush 🤣

3457 certainly better pegging cards as already outlined.

Thursday 7:20 AM

I went with the 3-4-5-7 keep, but really surprised to see that Discard Pro has 3-4-5-7 and 3-4-5-J as joint third on 11.8 combined points today. A-3-4-7 (toss J-5) is second on 12.0 points and 3-5-7-J (toss A-4) is top with 12.1 points. My thinking was that retaining five points in the hand and keeping the run together would mean the 3-4-5 hands would come out ahead - but not so.

Thursday 7:22 AM

Ditto, plus only a 9 cut doesn't help this hold

Thursday 7:48 AM

I keep it this way on Defense. I could get in trouble in the pegging with these tightly bunched cards. I'm not as good a defensive pegger as Rob. 3-4-5-7 is the offensive keep. I don't think it's as early as tevdodd said. I don't have a Magic eleven like the majority, so I will dump my 5 on an X-Card lead, more to be rid of it than the two points.

I’m on the island today. I’m guaranteed to get 6.

This seems to be a popular hold today!

At 33*-31 playing a SAFE strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:

_______________Pone
Defense___Hand_Pegs____Crib_Total___W6 %____W7 %
3-5-7-J____6.74+(-2.28)+5.28=9.74____12.8____35.2
A-3-4-7____4.98+(-2.13)+6.88=9.73____12.4____32.7
3-4-5-J____8.22+(-2.20)+3.64=9.66____13.0____34.6
3-4-5-7____8.33+(-2.13)+3.41=9.61____13.0____33.9

Defense______L6 %____L7 %
3-5-7-J_______12.8____33.4
A-3-4-7_______14.1____35.7
3-4-5-J_______13.2____33.8
3-4-5-7_______13.7____34.6

3-5-7-J is best for expected averages by a very slim 0.01pt. but it is also slightly best for Win %s and lowest for Loss %s. So, I'll select the A-4 to discard.

After the 2 cut I'll play Defense to the lead.
