Try it this way

   

Tuesday 3:24 AM

If choosing offense to include the pegging, holding A-2-K-K has the edge as it gains slightly more in the pegging and gives up a smaller crib than does discarding 2-7. Considered only discards of 7-J, 2-7, and A-7. Since choosing offense will lead KD and take any pegs offered. Suppose one could argue a strategy shaded towards defense since dealer of this hand has only 8 points. My choice generally favors moving down the board, if factors are near eaual. So they seem to be!

Prefer the 2 littles 2 bigs hold with the defensive toss of J7- obviously we lucked into a good cut in improving from 2 to 6- I don’t like this pegging hand configuration so I’m going to lead the 2 and hopefully limit the dealers pegging-it’s highly doubtful dealer would match a K lead-and if he Fifteens that lead we are probably going to have to dump the A or 2 to avoid a 31 for 2 or a go using up all our cards-enabling dealer to possibly have a 3 card run at the end for 4 or even worse having trips for 9- let’s play it conservatively early in the game and just count our blessings we received a good cut

Keeping the pair, and the potential for +1 with the Jack. Ace for a 31 since I'm leading tens.

Got lucky with the 4.

4 5 Queen are the starters goals today. Other times I might keep The A-2 but early and went for a few cuts. Suck it up lead one of the Kings. dec

hmmmm…I see Rob & Ras have picked a different lead card & with very solid explanations as to why..hmmmm again..and this pdf , from Ras’s class , about Pone initial leads is worth the read…. maybe even print it for your cribbage folder..with a K lead Ras is following his own advice today

If I get a trash hand, they get a trash toss.

   

Tuesday 6:02 AM

Any other X card and I'd have chosen X7, but I don't like discarding Jacks.
I'll try A7.

Looks like the misery thus far in this game continued in to hand 2. Might have thrown (7 K) if it didn't leave me with 0 pts. As it is, don't feel I should cut even the starting 2 from my hand, and I'd like to keep the high value pegging cards and run potential in my hand with the (A-2), so off goes the suited (7 J). The offsuit 4 cut is ideal both for my hand and opponent's crib potential. Let's try hard to earn those few pegs so I can end up dealing from 1st street CPZ in next hand.

All caution to the wind for me. Try to get something from nothing. Maybe we get a lucky "gut shot" or even a 5.

Play the 7 first and if they play a face, we get 2 peggerz. This hand strategy sets us up for future hands with this pone because every time we play a 7 or 8, the pone will be wondering....."hmmm last time they played a 7, they came back with a face card"!?!

Pondered keeping the J with the K-K. Liked keeping A-2 together. Debated tossing A-7, 2-7, and J-7. In the end, decided K-K for the 2 points, then the A-2 for pegging and cuts of 2,3, or 4.

I'll take today's cut.

Thanks @horus93

This represents the hands I seem to be dealt lately 😂

A 7. Didn’t want to throw the J.

(A-7) almost as low an average as (J-7), and a chance for a double run. Kd lead and offense.
