I need the points more than a stifle.

Wednesday 3:36 AM

We're in trouble, but I'm looking for the YAHTZEE 4 cut moving us to 88 minimum trying to go home in my 4 counts from here. Lead 6c.

Hand 6 was most interesting for me. I just couldn't bring myself to send T-K to my crib with the massive negative deltas in-hand.

It may be time for new glasses or stronger coffee, and this is why I don't play in tournaments. I thought the Five was a Club so I kept a hand like it was a flush. Duh.

Wednesday 3:56 AM

Looking for a 4 or 7.

Wednesday 4:01 AM

INUSHTUK: Hey Mike, I found A23566 as the dealer - Ras kept A235 (threw 66) and Hal retained A236 (56). 4/21/2014.

Wednesday 4:13 AM

Not a very palatable position for us today-we need a lot of things to break our way to finagle this victory-the first domino to fall is getting a cut to give us 12 to 16 points-the 7 cut provides that help so phase 1 is a success-the pegging is probably not going to be super productive-I would lead the 6 and hope dealer makes a bad decision and matches( probably very unlikely here tho) -I think the best we can hope for is a go on the first series and a 15 on the second

Wednesday 4:19 AM

It was wrong yesterday, but I'll try 2-3-6-6 again.
3-2-6 combo might be useful for pegging.
39/46 cuts are helpful = nearly 85% success rate.

Guess five was a tactical wrong answer in order to disambiguate letter one. Tricky for those playing on hard mode.

Wednesday 4:41 AM

Well I just can't bring myself to hold 4 points, and toss (2-2), which averages 6.38 (Schell), and 6.19 (Ras). Lead the 6, and bump up the count; unless Dealer responds with a deuce. Trying to hold my deuces to play them back to back if that seems reasonable.

Wednesday 4:42 AM

Tossing 3-6 doesn’t give away anything immediately to the crib and still keeps 4 points in hand and cards that may bring more. 7 starter helps

Wednesday 4:55 AM

Ultimately more about the dealers score here then us gaining back all that ground. dec

Wednesday 5:00 AM

Wednesday 5:38 AM

At this board position, need to be aggressive and hope to get a favorable cut to get us near 88-90 after any pegs. That would give us a life-line next hand to potentially pull off a win.

Wednesday 6:05 AM

TBH I wasn't sure about this but it may have worked depending on what they tossed.

I am a bit surprised there are so many votes for the 2-2-5-6 keep ... it is one of those 15's that are easy to miss at the table. I see two main choices here ... do we go for the cut for the 16-hand by pitching the potentially dangerous 2-2 or do we not feed Dealer's crib and pitch the less dangerous 3-6?

Wednesday 6:45 AM

Defensive.

Wednesday 7:51 AM

This hold improves with any cut while not giving away the game.

Wednesday 10:05 AM

At 72-83* playing an Offense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:

_______________Our
Offense___Hand_Pegs_Crib____Total___W2 %___W3 %
2-2-5-6C___7.04+1.61+(-4.00)=4.65____0.0____3.8
3-5-6-6____7.87+1.63+(-5.82)=3.68____0.1____5.0
2-3-5-6*___4.30+2.85+(-4.32)=2.83____0.2____3.6
2-2-3-5____6.91+2.22+(-6.48)=2.65____0.2____4.4

Offense______L2 %___L3 %
2-2-5-6C______3.5____56.8
3-5-6-6_______5.8____64.1
2-3-5-6*______4.0____59.1
2-2-3-5_______7.8____66.5

2-2-5-6C is best for expected averages by 0.97pt. and although 3-5-6-6 is slightly best for Win %s 2-2-5-6C is considerably lowest for Loss %s. So I'll select the 3-6S to discard.

After the 7 cut I'll lead a 2 and play Offense:

Lead_____________Our Pegging Points
2_______________________1.83
6_______________________1.46
5_______________________1.07

*********Notice jut posted that RAS passed away. This site was wonderful because of him and his willingness to share how knowledge. He will be greatly missed. RIP RAS :(

Wednesday 1:13 PM

I’m very sad to hear this news. I didn’t know Ras, but I feel very fortunate to have started on this site in time to have benefited from the generosity with which he shared his great knowledge and love of the game. He will be hugely missed.

Wednesday 7:25 PM

Very glad to have met and played one of my heroes before his final hand. Rest in peace Ras. He taught me a lot and I'm glad his legacy will continue with his lessons on video... and us keeping his memory alive.
