Move on down the board today, tossing 9-9 leaving a run in the hand.

   

Tuesday 3:23 AM

I will go on the win percentage choice of ditchin dem nines. 15s or pairs on deep counts would be prefered. dec

   

Tuesday 3:26 AM

I need an above average score in this hand to get back on track.
6-7-9-9 has the potential to become a valuable hand after a few cuts, 4-5 has the potential to become a valuable crib in combination with the right three cards.
Had planned a 9 reply to a J, Q or K from the 9-7 sixteen, but now I know two fives are out of circulation, that tactic may not bear fruit.

This hold is one of,if not the best pegging hand a dealer can keep-we will outpeg the pone 6-0 if he has all pictures,and our hand will increase from anywhere from 12 to 16 with any 4,5,6,or 7 cut-just too much upside to play it any other way

   

Tuesday 4:25 AM

Toss the trash peggers, keep the good ones, keep the 4 card run and the 5, toss a pair .

   

Tuesday 4:57 AM

Thought about 45 but I cannot afford to miss. I'll be aggressive and get myself as far down the track as possible to see if I can go out next deal.

   

Tuesday 6:02 AM

We are a handful of holes 'short' of position, and so we need a good Cut!

That 5 Card will have to do! ; - )

   

Tuesday 6:07 AM

Tossed the 9-9. The run gets help from cuts 2 through X

   

Tuesday 6:40 AM

Great pegging hand for dealer. Great potential for hand improvement. 9s in the crib. I think this is the best way to go.

   

Tuesday 6:55 AM

Oh, for the kebangee 6 cut,but we'll take the 5....

   

Tuesday 6:59 AM

I don’t see a second choice.

   

Tuesday 7:07 AM

My crystal ball is becoming clear. I will be in prime position as pone on the next deal. My crystal ball also tells me that the pone on this deal DOES NOT have a fistful of face cards. My crystal ball tells me I have made the correct discard.

   

Tuesday 7:27 AM

Unlike jcreagle I don’t have a crystal ball but threw 9 9 anyway.

   

Tuesday 8:02 AM

Not a tough call. With the 5 cut, I’d lay off a face card in anticipation of opponent having a 16 hand.

Maybe the nuance here is the pegging after you hit - you don’t want opponent to be dealing from 3 or less next hand, and it seems unlikely that you’ll get out from 22, unless the dealer threw K6 or KA.

   

Tuesday 9:12 AM

Before today, I would always toss 9-9 from this hand. But today I pondered for a while. Both hands are "guaranteed" 8 points. But I much prefer the 5 in my crib as not thrilled with a pair of nines. I am totally in the minority today so maybe my first choice was right all along? I will wait for HAL and RAS to advise. Hope everyone had a great Civic Holiday yesterday.

   

Tuesday 9:27 AM

Hard to pass up 2 eleven from heavens and the 456 together. Bingo. Now it becomes a pegging problem. Did the cut help pone to 12? What to do? Play on or play off? Please lead anything but a ten pointer.

   

Tuesday 10:14 AM

RAS loses a lot of games on 4th street when a five is cut. Did I have any X-pointers? None in six cards! Wonder where they might be? Will know when n/d lays down 10-J-J-Q or similar with matching Jack for 17 points. If the lead is a X-point card, will play defensively and play the 6. With opponent 19 out and my dealing 3 holes short of 4th Street CPZ (95-99) am choosing offense although will play off the lead. Might that be optimal?

All said.
