Prefer to keep the double run and the lucky cut gives me 10 pts. I intend to lead one of the 3s. orvani says: Of course to lead if I have to james500 says: Hi Orvani, hope all's well. A typo earlier I think, when you say "the lucky cut gives me 10 pts". The cut gives you 14, the hand was 10 before. |

I like the pegging flexibility of the 3459 suited here-pone only needs 14 so we have to be very cautious in our pegging-if we kept the 2334 we are pretty much forced to match a lead of 23 or 4-judge the reaction to the cut and the lead card in relation to that cut and peg defensively with the first card-if the second card played by the pond shows that his hand is weak,then by all means peg aggressively and try to get out before the next hand Guest says: Scary--am starting to think a little bit like you. I wanted the out card. S:)
Guest says: I want you to answer first tomorrow so I can say it’s scsry that I’m thinking like you lol |

With a different arrangement I have used 3-4-5-9 for pegging flexibility on fourth street. I like 2-3 better then 5-9 in the crib. Again in this case it matters more what non dealer has here to possibly go out. This is one you might have to read the player. dec |

I am going with the Flush today. Prefer 2-3 rather than 5-9 in our crib. Not sure that I am going to be going out this hand, believe I need to slow opponent down and possibly go another hand as pone. Rosemarie44 says: Really, really good hand, james500 Rosemarie44 says: Another consideration is that we risk holding 3-3-4-5 starting with 10 points and hope for a cut of a 3, 4, or 5 for 20 or 21 points. james500 says: Hi. Thanks again for the kind words. |

Tossed the 23. Expected averages say that’s a mistake by over a point to tossing 59. |

I am Not so sure that falling in the love with the flush is the best move. I will toss the 5-9 in the crib and keep the peggers. |

A three point reduction in hand value to hold the flush, but I want the 9 as an escape card. If Pone wins with first show, it doesn't matter how valuable my hand was. |

Would normally hold one of the double-runs, but mrob has a great explanation of the pegging dangers with opponent only 14 points out. Also the importance of playing off the cut card, and reading Jazzselke says: ...their reactions. Guest says: plus it's a MARV! hand. S:)

I want to get down to give me range for first count next deal. With me having all these small cards I’ll take my chances that my opponent doesn’t. Guest says: I thought of that too, plus this is one of my favorite hands--but no out card scares me. Hope to see you sometime soon. S:)

Holding such excellent cards at this score I like the spread of this keep better for defensive pegging. We want to keep opponent short of peg-out range next hand and hopefully count out ourselves then. He's too close for us to play anything but defense. If we had somewhat worse cards, though, I might feel I had to take risks in the pegging to stand any chance at all. |

I zoned out and thought this was going to opponent's crib. I would have kept the flush. |

Obvious object - NO PEGGING. This is better to stop that, IMHO. |

Ill say it for Ras. It pays to flush. This keep easier to play DEF in the pegging. The lovely and wonderful 2-3 to my own crib. Every cut helps this hand. And did I mention 2-3 is in my own crib-smiley face. |

Like most, want an escape card. Holding the flush provides that with the 9 spot. If non dealer gets the average hand score and pegs will be at hole 116. Nine points is 50/50. What are chances that n/d can score 14 and win on this deal? Chances are 1 in 6 times. So play it safe as dealing from 99 is a very strong position. Combined values favor holding 2-3-3-4 and discarding 5-9. Not here in my view! For the brave, hold either double run. Since holding five cards from 2-5, it is probable that n/d discarded something on the smaller end of the deck. The non-dealer hand is likely to be on up the line. Even so RAS likes an escape card. That's my take on it. That's three days in a row that I've played a flush. Guest says: Hi Ras: Thank you for your comments about the 3-5-Q-K spade flush on 5/12. Rosemarie44 |
