Saturday 3:35 AM

Lots of choices. Start with 8 points and potential.

Saturday 4:34 AM

My program said toss 2-3. I disagreed and sent the 6's to the crib. Not much of a difference: 2-3 scored 19.06 while the 6s scored 19.01. A 6-9 toss gets 18.4.

Saturday 4:35 AM

need the 2-3 to hit and either a five or six starter. dec

Saturday 4:47 AM

I agree with Rose. There are lots of choices here. 6-6, 6h-9, 2-4 could all see some consideration today as well. I opted for 8 starting pts that include the powerful 2-3 in the crib and improve on 11/13 cuts. The alternative to me was 6-6 starting with 7 pts and leaving 2-3-4-9 which improves on 12/13 cuts and leaves the crib with 6-6-7 for cut 13.

Conventional play of Hand 6 would've helped me immensely today.

Saturday 5:20 AM

A great 5 trap in 4-6-6 for when the play count resets to 0. Lose the 9 in the first phase of play, and then for the second phase lead the 6 and amass points on the play. 2-3 to the crib is always nice.

Close call with the 2-3-4-9 keep. 11-combo 2-9 and then 3-4 as a 5 trap.

I went this way... probably the road less traveled today

Saturday 6:14 AM

2-3 in my crib always seems like a good option

Saturday 6:58 AM

When it's a close call, 23 prevails. Also, in this case leaves a possible 16 hand.

Saturday 7:05 AM

Seems this is the 95% of the time Ras’s axioms about discarding and sacrificing two points prevail...2-3 is on his approved list and it also is the 2nd highest average discard a dealer can make

But I am ready to learn why not

Saturday 7:25 AM

I think I need to put the 2-3 to work in my crib.

Saturday 7:39 AM

I went with my gut. It was either 2-3 or 6-6. Behind by 14, I really need a grandslam here. With the 10 cut, I am walking back to the bench.

Saturday 7:44 AM

The 2,3 together are just too powerful.

Saturday 7:58 AM

I'm taking the starting 6 and 2-3 discard.

Wordle is one of the words from the set that I most struggle with; thankfully I caught it and could work through the possibilities to get it in 6. I'll be happy when they've used all those options so I don't have to deal with that set anymore.

Saturday 8:17 AM

Almost tossed 2-3, but decided instead to hold onto the magic 11 and toss the pair to my crib

Saturday 8:48 AM

A variety of hands voted for today, which has led to a good discussion. At present, 9% have voted for 2-4, but we've yet to hear from any of them.
I suspect that 2-3 might win today in Hal's calculations, but I don't think 6-6 and 6-9 will be too far behind. 3-6-6-9 (2-4) in 4th place perhaps, despite starting with eight points.

In agreement with Fentesk, tricky today. Picked a word in guess four that it couldn't have been, but that used many of the possibilities for letter one. If playing on hard mode, you'd have to be lucky to solve it.

Saturday 8:51 AM

(2-3) all day and twice on Sunday. Now how do I keep Pone from reaching 69/70. I think the 4-6-6-9 is better at peg avoidance than the other three top choices. I did like BennieO's comment about the 4-6-6 Five Card Trap, but I'm not dumping my 9 on a 10, or J lead here. I'd just play safe with the 6h lead.

Saturday 9:30 AM

I like it this way, too.

Saturday 10:51 AM

At 46*-60 playing a Defense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:

_______________Pone
Defense___Hand_Pegs____Crib_Total____W5 %____W6 %
4-6-6-9____7.91+(-1.98)+6.85=12.78____24.3____27.5
2-3-4-9____8.02+(-2.04)+5.39=11.36____21.5____24.9
3-6-6-9____9.22+(-2.04)+4.11=11.29____19.7____25.8
2-3-4-6C___8.37+(-2.15)+4.91=11.13____20.9____24.3

Defense_______L5 %____L6 %
4-6-6-9________52.3____59.7
2-3-4-9________53.8____63.5
3-6-6-9________49.7____61.8
2-3-4-6C_______54.4____64.4

4-6-6-9 is best for expected averages by 1.42pts. and is appreciably best for Win %s and lowest for Loss %s. So, I'll select the 2-3 to discard.

After the 10 cut I'll play Defense to the lead.

Saturday 12:52 PM

I like the 2346 covers all cards for growth of the hand, but only leaves 2 points in the crib. 4669 picks up 10s and face cards in the crib with the 23 toss.
