Kept the 445 together. Tossed wide as I could.

We're ahead. Keeping the straight shot while hopefully balking the crib a little.

Not many options so toss the bookends and hope for a cut.

2-7 isn't the worst discard here if you are wary of getting caught in the pegging, but 2-9 is preferrable for many reasons

I'm keeping both 5s, I don't see a good reason to send one to dealer. Then I will keep the 4-5-5 together, so two of the 2, 7, and 9 are gone.

There is a four-card 16 with 2-4-5-5, but then I'm tossing 7-9 which probably has the highest chance of letting dealer back in the game if it catches a 7-8 dealer discard, so I'll go wide with the 2-9 and keep the 7. I am tempted to keep some more room in the hand for pegging with the 2-7, but see the 2-9 as safer.

I want to keep the 4-5-5 together. Then pondered what doesn't fit. The 2 is gone. Then the 9.

Go wide and minimize risk. Every cut helps (some more than others). Lead the 4 I suppose.

2-7, 2-9, 4-9, 7-9? I will be the maverick again and keep the best pegger.

N/der is 16 points ahead in relative score and already six points into CPZ #3..so Rob’s increasingly famous cribbage theorem applies..” Do not over think this “

Eolus619 says: a fyi…both 2-7 & 2-9 are on Ras’s best n/der balking discard list for averaging under five across the board & fyi again..the reason 7-9 is vulnerable to crib points is dealer frequently sending 7/8..6/9..6/7..6/8..8/9..7/9..8/8 https://www.cribbage.org/NewSite/tips/rasmussen7.asp

MarktheShark says: Risky 7-9, yes, but recognize that most of those frequent dealer pitches will inflate the score for those "balking" discards, as well.

Eolus619 says: Thx Mark.always good to have your added perspective

To me this is more of a no brainer. Even if I don't get a cut, and peg zero; I'm still dealing well past the 3rd Street CPZ, and Dealaer would need to score 25 here to be within 10 of the 4th Street CPZ. Lead the 4 and try to dump a 5 as second card if it looks reasonably safe.
