5-7 is less risky than 5-10 and I still retain eight points, getting me to at least hole 48 for the next deal.

I’m keeping my sure 10 points here
Inushtuk1 says: Hi Rob. What is the offensive lead here? What would be the defensive lead? The 8?
mrob2199 says: This is a horrible pegging hand as pone-if I can get away with 1-1 or 1-2 pegging I will be very happy so the 8 lead is the safest lead to prevent too much damage
Inushtuk1 says: Thanks Rob for your prompt reply.

Playing offense here including pegs hopefully. Three more would help here on our next deal. dec
Inushtuk1 says: Hi dec. So does that mean you like the 8 lead?
dec says: Against a certain grade opponent I would lead an eight. 8-7-9 I am hoping. dec
Inushtuk1 says: Thanks dec.

Considered 5-7, but we win more games being aggressive than passive. Leaving the 6 cuts available for 20 was too enticing to hedge for .41 of a crib point (Schell)

Daily Scrimmage
106 to 121 loss ... I might be tilted now.
The pegging of hands 3 and 4 will provide most of the spread differentials today. 1 poorly played card by me in hand 3 (I know better) cost 9 pegs, but position was still sound the vast majority of the game.

I'm winning or losing with this hand. Missed the cut, and perhaps this means an "L".

Keeping the points with a chance for a mega hand with any middle card cut.

Keeping the 10 points and hoping 10-5 toss doesn’t wipe it out.

Keeping 10 and hoping for 20 to no avail. I hope that crib doesn't bury us!

At +6 to her/his -12, I see no reason not to keep it this way? Even on Optimal I'd do the same. I will lead my 9s to fake the flush, but that may be wrong with this hand.
Inushtuk1 says: See Rob and dec's replies to my questions. It appears the 8s lead is the best on either offense or defense with these cards. I can fake the flush in some cases with the 8 lead. I should have spotted that.

If I'm throwing a 5, then I don't want to throw the ten too.

Keep greedy 10, and hope and pray for luck.... or keep a double run of 8 and no tossing a potentially disastrous 5 with a 10

Early game. Boosting self forward to get into a better board position. No dice on a cut Q.

Dealer is short. Even with a perfect cut i can't get to the next position.

At 40-32* playing a Defense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages aand Win/Loss %s are:

_______________Dlr's
Defense___Hand_Pegs___Crib___Total___W6 %___W7 %
7-8-9-9_____12.26+(-2.96)+(-7.68)=1.70____48.3____67.7
8-9-9-10____10.26+(-2.96)+(-6.81)=0.49____41.8____64.3
5-8-9S-10____7.59+(-3.09)+(-4.30)=0.20____34.3____60.9

Defense______L6 %____L7 %
7-8-9-9________18.4_____12.6
8-9-9-10_______16.7_____14.6
5-8-9S-10______13.0_____15.1

7-8-9-9 is best for expected averages by 1.21pts. and is very much best for Win %s. Although it is slightly worse than 5-8-9S-10 for Loss %s I'll still select the 5-10 to discard.

After the Q cut I'll lead nthe 8 and play Defense:

Lead_______________Dealer's Pegging Points
8________________________(-2.37)
7________________________(-2.42)
9________________________(-2.59)
