I am playing my position first today.

Their crib got a nice cut, but we were almost certainly sending at least one 9 today so they were getting points regardless.

1. 7-10
2. 7-7
3. 5-J
4. 2-7
5. J-Qh
6. 9-Q
7. 2-4
8. 9-Q

Thought about A-7-7-J (4-J) for hand two, but gambled with A-4-J-J (7-7).

In hand one, I don't like 7-10 or 7-K but have to choose one. Maybe an 8 and 9 find their way into the crib somehow?

You get a lot of tough deals don't you? Almost as much as getting over 90 then have a 3-4% chance to win. I choose the former. dec

Can’t break up this hand at hole 80. Have to give us best chance to get in position on 4th street as dealer next round.

Tossing 9s and hoping not to get blasted by the cut. KABOOM!

Tough one today. I blew up my hand trying not to help their crib.

Throw the 9s. My favorite pair to throw at opponent’s crib along with Aces and Kings. Lead 3 and save the Jacks trying for end-play trips. You’re gonna need it after getting burned by the cut 6.

If we don't get close to or past 90 we will lose anyhow.

Any decent poker player will tell you that the hardest thing to do is to get the "gut shot card" to make a straight.

At 80-90* playing an Offense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:

________________Our
Offense____Hand_Pegs_Crib____Total___W2 %___W3 %
2-3-J-J_____8.93+1.30+(-6.13)=4.10____1.0____17.1
2-3-9D-JS___5.17+1.57+(-4.92)=1.82____0.3____10.5
2-9-J-J_____4.37+1.20+(-4.47)=1.10____0.2_____7.7
3-9-J-J_____4.33+1.24+(-4.48)=1.09____0.2_____8.1

Offense______L2 %____L3 %
2-3-J-J_______22.7____73.9
2-3-9D-JS_____17.9____78.5
2-9-J-J_______15.7____79.8
3-9-J-J_______15.5____79.7

2-3-J-J is 2.28pts. best for expected averages over 2-3-9D-JS and is considerably best for Win %s. It is only slightly worse for Loss %s over the two deals so I'll select the 9-9 to discard.

After the 6 cut I'll lead the 3 and play Defense:

Lead______________Dealer's Pegging Points
3________________________(-2.63)
J________________________(-2.70)
2________________________(-2.76)

Geez. No wonder he's so grumpy. (9-9) to the Crib; and I'm not speaking German either. Did Dealer toss himself (7-8). Nein Nein!
