It's a good time to cut an Ace.
The Queen is a little cut off from the rest of the deck since I hold two Jacks. It doesn't have much synergy with a 7 card either.

What James said. Hold Dealer back as much as possible. We'll have the deck next hand.

Jazzselke says: Mike see my 2nd answer yesterday. He said to consider keeping 5677, wasn't definite.
Inushtuk1 says: Thanks Bruce. Thanks Dan. Like Ras always said, "It would take more than one lifetime to completely figure out this game." Or words to that effect.

Seems to be the best I can do with today's hold.

Need an Ace cut ... we're in trouble. Lead a J, maybe opponent is errantly aggressive here and we magically peg 21? Wishful thinking :)

Pegged just the right amount today.

Getting the A cut helps with this hold, also plus a lot more opportunities with other cuts. Worked out!

I added on cuts of tens and Kings. As much as the twelve/thirteen would be great giving more chances to set up for next deal. Four lead. dec

Keeping the points. 7-Q usually a pretty strong balking discard.

From this position a lot of things need to go right. I’ll keep the points and try to slow down the dealer with Q-7.

Have to put the brakes on the dealers crib and mastermind an epic comeback.

Good time for a review of Ras’s lowest average balk discards ..7-Q is #10… https://www.cribbage.org/NewSite/tips/rasmussen7.asp
Eolus619 says: with two pairs in these six cards also a good time to remind oneself that playing as n/der..11/13 pairs cross the board average over six points http://www.cribbageforum.com/SchellDiscard.htm

We're in the Hurt Locker here. Many hands have to go right to have a chance.

Gotta stifle the crib here if we can and Q-7 should do nicely.

It’s not pretty, but at least it nets two chances at trips on the play. Play out the 4s first and lead J for the second sequence of the play trying desperately to nab trips on the play.

This should be around 90%-even getting the miraculous A cut doesn’t help much unless dealer falls flat on his face-the Q7 discard is about as defensive as we can get towards that ultimate goal

At 70-83* playing an Offense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:

_______________Our
Offense___Hand_Pegs_Crib____Total___W2 %___W3 %
4-4-J-J____6.02+1.00+(-4.27)=2.75____0.0____1.3
4S-J-J-Q___4.98+1.26+(-4.58)=1.66____0.0____1.1
4-4-7-JD___5.63+1.00+(-5.60)=1.03____0.0____1.1

Offense______L2 %___L3 %
4-4-J-J_______2.7____55.3
4S-J-J-Q______3.1____57.0
4-4-7-JD______5.1____61.5

4-4-J-J is best for expected averages by 1.09pts. and is very slightly best for Win %s and appreciably lowest for Loss %s. So, I'll select the 7-Q to discard.

After the K cut I'll lead a 4 and play Offense:

Lead__________Our Pegging Points
4____________________1.07
J____________________1.00
