Seems the best way to go.... show me the math!

Tuesday 4:21 AM

I’ll sacrifice 2 points here for the shots at the 2,5 or 8 cut which should insure the victory here-a 3,6 or 9 cut will still help us , albeit not as much as the 3369 keep-what a doggone good 5 cut today!!!!!

Tuesday 4:37 AM

This even worked.

Tuesday 4:37 AM

Two point reduction dozen potential and some peggers also . math. dec

Tuesday 4:39 AM

Hand has more potential for growth. Prefer 67 than 47 in my crib.

Tuesday 4:56 AM

Really good submission from scott this morning. 3 legitimate options (4-7, 6-7, 6-9) Ignore the flush it's just eye candy. 4-7 starts us with 6 points and we have a no-X hand so the likelihood of an X turning is heightened, so this might actually be the soundest play, not expecting any improvement. That said, maybe for contrarian sake or just presenting a different viewpoint, idk, I chose 6-9. It starts with 4, and still leaves us with the open ended double run possibility and leaves the 11 in hand that we otherwise would not have.

Giving myself a chance to get down the board here at a critical juncture. Plenty of potential in the hand and the crib, particularly if a 2,5, or 8 is cut, but a 9 cut could be at least moderately helpful.

Tuesday 5:46 AM

Suddenly feeling a little smarter. Not unique today, most of my friends tossed 6-7 as well. Lets peg and get close enough to go out next deal.

Tuesday 5:53 AM

Like the suited 67 in crib and keeping open possibilities to complete a double run

Tuesday 6:11 AM

A unique combination in which the aforementioned 2, 5 or 8 turn cards provide help to both hand and crib. Well worth the 2-point sacrifice IMHO.

Tuesday 6:11 AM

I'm on board!

In my opinion, knowing this is 'bot generated and the players will get a favorable cut, keeping 334? is the correct discard. But in a real cribbage game, there are too many face cards remaining in the deck that I know will be my cut card. I opted for a minimum six points in this game....as I typically do.

Tuesday 6:55 AM

I’m pretty sure that when Scott submitted his puzzle he wasn’t expecting me to become a good example of not knowing the 5% of the time Ras’s two cribbage axioms DO NOT apply..1) is not playing for cut & 2) as dealer, sacrificing two points is ok if making the discards on his list …here is his post about cuts from his ACC tips ..and then below that the link to his chart of “approved” sacrifice discards from his class..a learning experience today❗️and when DCH elites are in a tournament with me my choice is a good reason why I should not be putting money in a side pool expecting to cover my rent payment

“Play the game without a favorable starter card. You're likely to miss more cuts than you receive and don't believe you can improve your cutting ability. Most strong tournament players plan their hand, strategy, etc. without the benefit of the starter card. If the starter card is favorable, that is an unplanned bonus.”

Touching cards kept in both buckets (hand and crib). Bingo cut.

Tuesday 7:06 AM

I went with the 'eye candy" because the 2-5-8 still helped this, and I figure a good player wouldn't toss me a 6-7 here.

Tuesday 7:14 AM

I agree Sally. With this lead I prefer the flush in order to expand my "in hand" options and besides....no way the pone can track us. I also see a bunch of pegging opportunities in the very near future! lol

Tuesday 7:24 AM

I’ll take the guaranteed six and no help from the starter card. I’ll have to eke out 8 more points pegging and in the crib.

Tuesday 7:37 AM

Very few helpful cuts for 3-3-6-9, and I don't like 4-7 as a discard either.

I saw so much potential with the flush with every cut card helping except the X cards. Too bad the 5 wasn’t a club too!
The 3-3-6-9 hand didn’t have strong growth prospects.

Tuesday 8:03 AM

Keeping the 67 together allowed possibilities for two separate runs and multiple iterations in some cases. The 5 will give us some legs to increase our lead.

Tuesday 8:03 AM

Take the points. Be cautious pegging.

This tells me I need to work on my pegging

Tuesday 10:59 AM

Honestly, I would go for the inside straight flush if I were at club, because the side pot for it pays so well, but in a tourney, this would be my choice.

Tuesday 11:55 AM

At 97*-88 playing an Offense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:

_______________Our
Offense___Hand_Pegs_Crib_Total____W2 %____W3 %
3-3-4-9____6.61+3.20+4.91=14.72____48.3____65.1
3-4-6-7____7.24+3.57+3.43=14.24____45.1____61.9
3-3-6-9____7.35+2.98+3.69=14.02____41.9____63.3

Offense_______L2 %____L3 %
3-3-4-9________14.4____28.2
3-4-6-7________16.2____30.9
3-3-6-9________13.5____30.2

3-3-4-9 is best for expected averages by 0.48pt. and is very much best for Win %s and slightly lowest for Loss %s. So, I'll select the 6-7 to discard.

After the 5 cut I'll play Defense to the lead.

Tuesday 12:26 PM

This is an exception to Ras's Small Hand Rule. The flush worked out today with the cut, but I don't think it is the best choice. What I lost in the hand compared to the flush, I hope to make up in my Crib. Defense to the lead.

Tuesday 2:32 PM

I'm most comfortable with keeping a combined good hand and crib prospects with solid crib throw here of (6 7). The flush would be my second choice.
