This doesn’t look like the hand to immediately get us back into the game -let’s hold the single run and hope for a 5 ,10 ,J or Q cut for the hand or a 2 or 3 for the crib

A nine of diamonds would work here. We need a two and/or a three to make the crib snap. dec

Looks like our hopes in this game are crib reliant after this cut.

Four points versus three for T-J-Q-(A/2/6).
Have both an eleven and sixteen combo.
The Jack is one of Ras', "key connectors", so it might help in the crib. Will be tough with a 10 and Q out of circulation though.

* On that note, has anybody seen/heard from Ras recently? *

Eolus619 says: Hi James500…Dan Selke posted a while ago that Ras’s club director said both Ras and his wife have moved out of their home and into separate facilities ..she for her dementia ( sadly) and Ras residing in a semi independent living facility. Ras hopes to continue playing GR at his club. AND …recently ..both Ras and his brother attained ACC Platinum level. I believe only 21 players total have achieved that level ..don’t think any other brothers have.
james500 says: Hi Bruce. Thanks for the answer, and apologies to Dan for missing his earlier post on this. Wishing them all well.

Another budget menu puzzle. The 2 doesnt help the hand, but may help the crib. The doublerun will be dealt next hand.

The 6 doesn’t offer much help to hand or crib. Touchers A2 may squeak out something in crib

Feel good about 3 points from the turn up, but not too sanguine about my chances to get back into position this hand.

I'm not too positive about getting back into the game with this hand!

I am in the A-2 camp for the reasons stated above. Maybe I shouldn’t be so reluctant to eschew a flush that only starts with four points …for today I still have ….On an happy note ..Off to join Dan Selke & play in a tournament in Loveland , Co.

Keeping the magic 11. The flush is too ugly for me.

And people thought my FLUSH last Monday of (Ad 3d 6d Qd) was ugly, here we have (Ad 6d Td Qd)! Yuck indeed! 🦆

It's either the FLUSH with Toss (2 J), or the Run (6 J Q K) and Toss (A 2). Initially, it seemed as though the Run was better, since Thirteen Cuts (5555, JJJ, QQQ, KKK) will yield Eight Points or more, but we do have a buzz-kill of Seventeen Non-Heart-Suited Cuts (AsAc, 2s2d2c, 3s3d3c, 4s4d4c, 7s7d7c, 8s8d8c) that add nothing to this Three-Point Hand. 💐

With the FLUSH, we have Nine Cuts (4444, 5555, Jd) that yield Eight Points or more, and while the Crib may be slightly weaker, we finish with a Minimum Hand of Four Points after only Eleven Non-Diamond-Suited LOSER Cuts (2s2c, 3s3h3c, 7s7h7c, KsKhKc). The FLUSH tends to look better and better under close examination. 👓

Let's Toss (2h Jh) and retain the FLUSH today, and "flush" the Run! After the Deuce of Diamonds Cut Card, we now have Five Points in our Hand, and prospects for maybe even more points in our Crib!

james500 says: Hi John. Very well done with Wordle today. I got to a position of a blank followed by four greens after guess four. There was no way for me to disambiguate what the first letter was in just guess five.
JQT says: Very observant: this was one of my better convergences (I once had One Yellow, Five Green); I wish it showed the thinking time between guesses, as I looked at it for several minutes before making that final guess! ✅
