I didn't really want to toss two points to dealer but prefer the ten card to hold than. a nine card.

Toss up today. I obviously wasn't careful with my suits. (Should've tossed 9d rather than 9s) I prefer this hold for the peg, and it adds 2 additional cuts to 8. More importantly (For me) it takes 3 additional cards to make a 12+ crib vs 2 cards throwing the 99. Today, I'll lead the Qc after the botched discard, discarding the correct suit the Qs is the lead.

Painful end getting outpegged 2-0 hand 9, but I gave away this win in Hand 5 getting too cute/greedy in the peg.
Tall Troy says: My undoing was pegging the first hand. I led the 2 and opponent got 14. 40 total. I pegged 16 on the last hand but lost 121-118.
fentesk says: I lost the game on Hand 1 pegging (7-14) leading the 3, and that spooked me on Hand 5 and I only came out 2-1, ending with a 119-121 loss.

Didn’t want to leave a 9-Q gap just in case the J showed up. And it did! Sometimes we just get lucky.

I think a connecting 9-10 will do more damage than 9-9.

If I were the dealer, I'd rather have the 9-9 sent to me than the 9-10. I decided to not do what I'd want done in dealer's shoes and sent the 9-10. We got the 4/46 cut that makes this choice look particularly poor, oh well.

At +2 to Dealer's -14, it's offense with the discard. Got very lucky with the cut. Switching to Defense, as it is not lost on me that Dealer may have 8 to 16 points in his/her Crib. Lead the Qc.
Tall Troy says: Do you have the "+2....-14" tables memorized or do you have to use electronics to recite those numbers?
fentesk says: They're calculated in realtime based on par holes and hand averages, so no extra tables/electronics end up being needed. In this case, the next par hole is 70. If we get our average of 10 for non-dealer we'll be at 72, so +2 to par. Dealer wants to be dealing first above 70 and at 56 they are -14 to par. (At least that's my understanding, I'm sure others will chime in if needed).

Welp, Jack was the kill card. I like the idea of leading Queen getting a shot at opponent following with a 9 to then get paired by my 9.

The wrong cut here, and no joy on CribbagePro either. 114-121 loss.

1. A-7
2. 9-J
3. 7-Q
4. 9-10
5. 6-J
6. 7-9
7. J-Q
8. 3-K

Maybe I should've gone safer with Q-10 in hand seven?

"There's no way we're gonna cut a Jack," says I.

Tall Troy says: IMO, you shouldn't discard by relying on the cut for points. You can hope for a good cut but it should be a random event. I wonder about the electronic version of cutting though. Seems to me I get too many "great" cuts when playing Cribbage Pro. Trust me.....I'm not that lucky. I need to play more cribbage with paper cards and see what the cuts are like.
domandcarol says: It also seems to me that there are too many big hands 16+ on crib pro as well. Unfortunately, I don’t have many opportunities to play with real cards to really test it, so probably won’t be able to personally test the theory.

Like the chance for 15 at these relative positions and also agree 910 could be as dangerous as 99, as evidenced today.

At 62-56* playing an Offense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:

_______________Our
Offense___Hand_Pegs_Crib____Total___W5 %____W6 %
10-Q-Q-Q___7.74+1.09+(-6.27)=2.56____54.0____38.1
9-Q-Q-Q____6.91+1.02+(-5.52)=2.41____50.9____37.2
9-9-Q-Q____4.96+0.98+(-4.48)=1.46____43.3____32.4
9-10-Q-Q*__3.96+1.33+(-3.88)=1.41____42.4____31.8

Offense______L5 %____L6 %
10-Q-Q-Q______57.2____43.9
9-Q-Q-Q_______54.1____45.1
9-9-Q-Q_______50.2____49.6
9-10-Q-Q*_____48.7____50.1

* unsuited 9-Q

10-Q-Q-Q is best for expected averages by 0.15pt. and is significantly best for Win %s. Although it's the worst for Loss %s I'll still select the 9-9 to discard.

After the J cut I'll lead a Q and play Defense:

Lead___________Dealer's Pegging Points
Q______________________(-3.06)
10_____________________(-3.16)
