Interesting puzzle Scott-I’m going to keep the flush-we are still looking for the same cuts and any picture gives us 8 with a magic eleven and a very flexible pegging hand

Wednesday 3:20 AM

I decided to not be cute. I was looking for a 5 but a 3 works. Peg if possible.

Wednesday 3:58 AM

Going out in left field this morning. Every cut gets us back to the original 6, we keep the double-run open ended and 7-8 hand 1 seems sound. I don't expect the numbers to play this out, but I think it's a sneaky good play here.

I like to Flush and IMO this is a more flexible and for pegging. Tough call.

Wednesday 4:33 AM

For me it was either toss 3-8 or A-4. I chose to keep the flush.

I'll be in Columbia, SC this weekend for those tournaments. Hope to see some of you there.

Wednesday 4:55 AM

Keeping then334 together. Potential for larger pay out from cut.

Wednesday 4:56 AM

My keep is between two discards. The flush was second. Both hand have their pegging defensive strengths. I like a variety of twelve hands cut and a possible fourteen. dec

Another good puzzle from Scott. A few good options to consider.

Every cut A to 9 helps my hand, A-4 in the crib works with any X cards. 8-3d eleven combo might bring 31/2 whilst also allowing me to fake holding a flush.

First hand so keeping the max but the flush was tempting. The cut certainly helped!

Went this way but the flush hold was very close for me. I just liked the multiple cuts that garner 12/14 with this hold, and we have a magic 11 and nice peggers with the 3-3-4 combination.

Wednesday 6:11 AM

Excellent puzzle Scott and yes will see you this weekend. Prefer the double-run possibilities, and pegging potential with this hand. Can utilize the Magic 11 and then trap a 5 with an unsuspecting opponent as indicated by Scott above.

Wednesday 6:12 AM

I like it this way.

Wednesday 8:16 AM

Was tempting to throw A/7, but I like the flush hold for pegging, and lots of cards help it.

Wednesday 9:06 AM

Both this and 3-3-4-8 perform well on the play. The 5 trap with 3-4, and the 11 combos with 4-7 and 3-8. I only just edge out this keep with the A-4 sticking together and a slightly stronger crib with the 3 to scoop up complimentary 2s.

Flush first and in this case.....it sticks.

The flush on Defense, perhaps the 3-3-4-8 on Offense.

At 0*-0 playing a Defense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:

_______________Pone's
Defense___Hand_Pegs____Crib_Total____W9 %____W10 %
A-3S-4-7___9.15+(-2.11)+3.57=10.61____38.4____50.2
3-3-4-8____8.70+(-2.24)+3.56=10.02____37.3____50.0
3-3-7-8____6.30+(-1.98)+5.45= 9.77____35.2____48.5
A-3-3-4____5.45+(-2.50)+6.63= 9.61____37.3____48.2

Defense______L9 %____L10 %
A-3S-4-7______28.2____24.9
3-3-4-8_______26.5____24.4
3-3-7-8_______26.3____25.6
A-3-3-4_______28.9____26.6

A-3S-4-7 is best for expected averages by 0.59pt. over 3-3-4-8 and is slightly best for Win %s. Although 3-3-4-8 is lower for Loss %s I'll still select 3D-8 to discard.

After the 3 cut I'll play Defense to the lead.
