| Inushtuk1 | Is 2-3-4-8 a enough of a better pegger offensively, as opposed to (8-9) to make up for the lower Crib average of (9-10) |

Inushtuk1 asks the right question. I look forward to seeing the answers. I can be convinced on this one.

I went this way with this hand. Question: I' have been playing on Cribbage Pro and it seems to me that it gives very large hands a lot more often than I would expect. I don't have stats, but a gut feeling says it's just not random. Am I delusional? domandcarol says: Seems that way tome too. I don’t have many chances with real cards to make a valid comparison, but see 16+ way more than expected not to mention occuringn2+ times in same game. (Thought I replied before guess not oops! |

I went for the crib average potential here. Sounds to me its more of an entertaining program there then a more random program to make tougher decisions. dec |

Thinking 89 is a stronger crib toss |

High run or low run? I liked the 2-3 to my crib. A 10 would have been perfect but I'll take this.

Maybe I'll catch a stray 7 from the pone. Aggressive offense |

Seems to me that this would be the better hold. Preferred to toss 2-3 than 8-9 but chose potential of this hand. |

On Defense I would just retain 2-3-4-10. But wanted to know what you all would do in a definite offensive position. Looks like most wouldn't switch. Would have loved to have gotten Ras, and JQT's take on it. Rob may say I'm overthinking it. |

It seemed a good idea to keep a three card run intact- the question was-which one? Chose the 2,3,4 and sent the 8,9 to the dugout hoping they might help later on. We pick up 2 points in the hand and 2 in the crib, but missed the double 3 card run. Such is the game. |

9-10 could immediately be helped in the crib by 5,6,8,9,10 and Jack, (21/46).
8-9 could immediately be helped in the crib by 6,7,8,9 and 10, (only 17/46). On that basis, 10-9 > 8-9, but many on here have said that the data actually shows the reverse. I can only assume this is because of Pone's bias against discarding fives and Jacks, which leaves the 10-9 discard effectively just reliant upon meeting a 6,8,9 or 10, (13/46)? The 8-3 eleven might be useful, or should I play it as 8-2 for a go, keeping the 3-4 together to trap a 5 card on the second play through?
