Any cut that isn't a 7 will help the hand, 100(43/46) = 93.5% chance of improvement.

9-2 eleven might be useful in the pegging phase.

A guarantee of at least two points in the crib because of the 5 card there.

Keep 2 in hand and put the potential in the crib. I do like the thought of tossing 4-5 out as an alternative tho.

Another yuck sandwich. 5s without faces go into my crib, but with what? If I hope to be at hole 70 at the end, then its time to peg like a madman

Toss (5 7) places a Gapped Duo with a 5 Card into our Crib, and allows for Maximum Growth in our Hand, where we get helped by all but Three Cuts (777), which means we'll get help about 43/46 equals 0.935 or nearly 94% of the time. Again, we have a puzzle where the best discard is clearly a Full Point-and-a-Half above any other choice. 🪁

Let's Toss (5 7) today. After the King Cut, we now have Four Points in our Hand, with prospects for a good Crib. 🧶🐈

My thought is , if a 5 in your hand is only worth 2 points before the cut, it is best stowed in your crib.

We are in reasonable position; need to reach our 60 par hole. Tossup for me between 2-7 and 5-7. 2-7 might be a better pegger, but 5-7 has more meld potential.

5-7 a nice top 15 toss to our crib. Good peggers in our hand with flexibility.

At 57*-51 playing a Defense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:

_______________Pone's
Defense___Hand_Pegs____Crib_Total___W5 %____W6 %
A-2-4-9____4.74+(-1.72)+6.23=9.25____51.2____69.5
2-4-7-9____4.22+(-2.00)+5.42=7.64____45.5____66.8
A-4-5-9____5.57+(-1.98)+3.80=7.39____45.8____65.7
A-2-7-9____2.26+(-1.83)+6.63=7.06____42.9____64.7
A-5-7-9____4.91+(-2.11)+4.25=7.05____44.4____65.4

Defense______L5 %____L6 %
A-2-4-9_______22.0____13.4
2-4-7-9_______20.2____15.1
A-4-5-9_______21.8____16.1
A-2-7-9_______20.1____16.6
A-5-7-9_______20.7____16.2

A-2-4-9 is best for expected averages by 1.61pts. and is very much best for Win %s and a very close second lowest for Loss %s. So, I'll select the 5-7 to discard.

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

Get the 5 into the box. Then best to give it the 7 as companion. All obvious reasons.
