fentesk | Starting the game with a three-card run with a five at the end, what's going where? |

The Diet Special. I wont get fat on this hand. I can account for only 7 pts. Peg like a madman. |

I will peg with you. That is why I kept the ten. Besides that 10-K not worth it to me to keep all the peggers. dec dec says: The queen still not a sell for two faces. dec dec says: The queen still not a sell for two faces. dec |

No more run for me, but only four points not five.
5-X-A sixteen might be useful in the pegging, for 15/2 and 31/2. Lots of potential in the crib. Any 2,5,6,7,8 or 9 will immediately be helpful, (21 such cards still unaccounted for). |

If we try to get the 5 Card in our Crib, there is nothing left in our Hand. Therefore, our first inclination is to retain the 5-6-7 Run, and throw the best two remaining cards into our Crib.
We could, however, try to better "balance" our Hand and Crib if we Keep (A 5 T Q) and Toss (6 7)! Let's Toss (6 7) today, and try to follow an interesting and alternate path. 🍝 🍷 After the King Cut, we now have Six Points in our Hand, with prospects for a less-than-average Crib.

67 no assurances in the crib, so will hold the 5 points and a possible double-run. Also retaining the powerful 56 pegging combination. |

The Q is less likely to be trapped into a run than the 10. I'd have played it 5-6-7-10(A-Q) on Offense. Cautious Offense to the lead. For me that means playing my 6 from the 5-6 Magic Eleven on any X-Card lead. I can hear Dan(dec), and Greg (GougieOO) yelling at their screens now. But I have 8 known points. Let's hold n/d to 8 or less as well. |

My standard toss here normally would be the A,Q but lately I have been going this way with about the same results. |

Ace-face or 6-7? Values are close, but Ace-face has more potential and leaves a better pegger. Yes, must play the defensive 6 on an X lead. Will pitch the Ten to keep some defensive distance with the Queen. |
