Keeping cards that work together, together. K-5 is the best crib toss you have from this hand, and it still keeps the four-car-run intact.

I like the 4 card run hold here-any good cut gives us 10 with the trusty 5K stashed away in our crib-a doggone good way to start!

A variety of options this morning. Legitimate arguments to be made for 8-9, 8-K, 5-J, and J-K as well.

Today I'm gonna drop the 1 starter point in order to slip the 5 into the crib.

Seven points if 5-9-T-J, but K-8 is unappealing. One point fewer in hand this way, but the potential in the crib to overcome this.

4-run nets more double-run opportunities than a 3-run, and 5-K to the crib is plenty good.

Playing Defense this is best. But not by much. James' option does peg better defensively.

May as well begin with guaranteed points in hand and crib.

Love these cards and having the crib also. What a great way to start the game.
Thanks to Eolus619 for posting a link to Ras’ words of wisdom.

(5 K) to the crib is such a strong throw, it should be worthwhile to sacrifice some hand points for this purpose, even if it doesn't strictly meet the big-hand rule. This will have higher expectations while keeping a 4-card run, and avoiding the terrible (8 K) crib toss
MiketheExpert says: This is also a better defensive keep than holding a single 5 with the run.
Inushtuk1 says: HI Mike. I would think the 5-9-10-J(8-K) would be a better defensive pegger than our long run. We could dump a 5 on a 9 lead. Now what will we do on the 9 lead. The J I suppose. 5-9-10-J is a safer pegger I think, and a higher average hand to boot. But these two advantages can't outweigh the horrible Crib Average of (8-K).

K8 is the obvious toss as pone.

Give up the guaranteed point in hand to likely grab a ton more in the crib.

Of course, this would be the time for the pone to toss a 77 and james500 comes out smelling like roses!
