| goninnygo | Behind in position but a good hand makes it seem like a full steam ahead situation...Break up the double run and load the crib? Keep the run but stall the crib? Something else? |

Solid submission today from ninny. Do we want a 16 pt hand or a 6 pt hand + 10 crib? I guess I'm leaving myself the flexibility if we whiff this cut this morning. Looking forward to seeing the viewpoints today.

Looking for pictures or the bingo cuts of aces or fours-not enamored with throwing 4-10 to my own crib while holding 2 aces-we have the pegging option of sacrificing points to the pone to try to get our aces in for 3 or 4 |

Potential for twelve still. 2-3 One of the highest crib producers. Pegging on aces could be advantageous. We would like to incur sixteen or more points here. Opponent also short here. dec |

I’m all in with the 23 toss |

Tossing 2-3 is a no brainer for me - high value. AA23 is closed on one end with the aces. |

In the Midwest this is nicknamed the Mick Michaelis toss, a Hall of Fame player who passed away before I started in the ACC. No Double-Run Hypnosis here... |

Along with the 45677J, this was Ras's favorite puzzle for newbies. And of course when you need a cut, here's the useless 8. goninnygo says: I imagine Ras would've said toss the 77? If so that would be a good one for today's cut. Eolus619 says: goninnygo hello..yes on the 7/7

Annabella says: Eolus, thank you for commenting, you have been missed. Your comments, and reminders of RAS -are helpful to this newbie. This puzzle took me a minute to decide. And Gougie- thank you for your insightful but funny commentary as well. Eolus619 says: welcome AB..Ras has valuable advice & thanks to his extraordinary documentation it’s easy to pass it along |

An A, 2, 3, or 4 cut helps whether we break up the double run or not. With a net total of eight points either way, I’d rather toss myself 2-3 than a 10-4 holding two A’s. Add in the pegging value of the double As and this is an enticing hold. |

I can't add anything to what everyone has already said. Everything has been covered. Position ,pone postion, pegging hand and crib. |

When I played it I cut a Jack which was way more fun (and less stressful) than the 8 here. |

Today Ras is speaking to us with his well known axiom..”don’t be seduced by double run hypnosis”
https://www.cribbage.org/NewSite/tips/rasmussen9.asp and 2/3 is on his list of “approved “ dealer discards when sacrificing points https://vashoncribbage.weebly.com/uploads/5/6/7/4/56741021/chart_11.pdf Eolus619 says: for those of you who kept the double run.,fine by me ..cribbage is a game of choices ..for another view take Ras’s ten minute video class on double run hypnosis

I like the Michaelis toss today. Hand potential still viable and major potential for a productive crib with the 2-3 discard. |

Looks like I'm on my own today. simon.meth says: I'm with you! Extra 2 points with the 8 is nice. SallyAnn3 says: You guys can borrow my island :) Sgt Pegger says: Very interesting .... this hold has gathered the most votes thus far and yet I am the only one brave enough (or less than smart enough), to enter any explanation as to justify it. |

Double run hypnosis. Aces and 4s stick together for a X cut and 2-3 goes and boosts the crib. For the play save those Aces till the end and pair/trips em.

Yes, straight out of the notes from The Double Run Hypnosis lecture. Thanks GougieOO for ringing my bell on the 4-5-6-7-7-X as Dealer. Also the difference between 2-5-6-6-7-X, and 2-5-6-7-7-X. Offense to the lead. We need to move on down the board. Not so sure we will get the average of 7 in this Crib with the 8 on deck. Inushtuk1 says: Getting back to the difference between 2-5-6-6-7-X, and 2-5-6-7-7-X; if I'm not mistaken, the (5-X) was correct with the former but not the latter. Actually I have an old note from when my Cribbage Prof was working that the Crib Prof liked the 5-6-6-7(2-X) on Offense only , as we keep the (5-6) Magic Eleven intact. But on Defense I imagine The Cribbage Prof put that 5 in the Crib. Not sure about Optimal. Perhaps I will submit that one day soon at a score I feel HalscribCLX will deem Optimal is the correct strategy, after seeing the six cards. |

Ras would say consider keeping the 5677 because of a 3 cut, and it improves on all cuts. But definitely 5X with 2667. Jazzselke says: Meant to put this under Inushtuk's post. |

At 90*-93 playing an Offense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:
________________Our Offense____Hand_Pegs_Crib_Total____W2 %____W3 % A-A-4-10____8.57+3.30+6.32=18.19____25.9____25.6 A-A-2-3____11.30+3.43+3.17=17.90____25.2____27.9 2-3-4-10____7.93+3.39+4.97=16.29____16.6____17.5 A-2-3-10____7.67+3.43+5.13=16.23____17.3____18.5 Offense________L2 %____L3 % A-A-4-10________38.3____62.0 A-A-2-3_________34.5____59.9 2-3-4-10________38.9____71.2 A-2-3-10________38.0____69.9 A-A-4-10 is best for expected averages by 0.29pt. over A-A-2-3. However, A-A-2-3 is slightly best for Win %s and considerably lowest for Loss %s. So, I'll select the 4-10 to discard. After the 8 cut I'll play Offense to the lead. |
