Interesting hand today coder-I’m going to toss my famous 7-9 and play for an A,3,4 or picture cut-if I hold the flush no cut puts me out,albeit a couple put us right on the precipice of that doggone 121st hole

Thursday 4:35 AM

Couldn't chance 7 9 to dealers crib. It's a pegging game for me from here.

Thursday 4:45 AM

This hold has the most winning cuts. That said, it's extremely interesting. I like 7-J as the alternative over the flush, similar to 7-9 we need to survive a 7-8 cut, but there's slightly more wiggle room for the 7-J path if the killer cut does turn.

We need to peg 4 after today's cut, let's lead the J. Play the 3 on any reply other than A-3-4-5.

Felt disappointed with how that game went that I didn't get the skunk. Chalk discards except Hand 7 (T-K) from 95-68*, and Hand 9 (3-4) from 115-91*. Opp tried to be aggressive Hand 3 and got caught yielding an 11-5 peg for the good guys.

The Flush has no additional points in the hand except for 4 points for spades. This hold has more cuts for going out.

Go for more game hole cuts here and I feel confident this would go to another deal at least. dec

Like the flush today and the slightly less nocuous A-J discard. Every non-face cut helps at least a little and the flush should be difficult for the dealer to read which may allow us to steal a few pegs. I would lead the 7 after seeing the unhelpful face cut.

Thud. What was I looking for? Perhaps a 2? I agree with Mike above, you want to lead the 7 or the 9 and perhaps parlay the A and 3 when the count is high. Looks like an "L". The bipolar cribbage is off her meds again.

I'm in the flush camp today, dadgummit.

Thursday 5:55 AM

Looking to next round. Opponent will be counting first, so don’t want to risk helping crib with 7-9 this round. Hoping to hold out til counting hand and crib.

Thursday 6:16 AM

Best chance to win on this deal.

I'll keep the AA3 five, which also has double run hopes.

Thursday 7:44 AM

I went with the higher probability of a face cut, with the small peggers to finish.

Thursday 8:22 AM

I'm with James, and Sally Ann. Even if we don't go out; *if* we survive, we should be able to win with Dealer's pegging advantage next Deal.

Thursday 8:44 AM

Flush improves with every cut except for Xs. No dice on a cut Q. Leading the 7 for aggressive play. Hold Ace and 3 for scores on opponent’s low cards when the count is approaching 31.

The flush the best of all worlds moving forward. The 2 or 8 of spades gets us home and while I agree they are longshots, this is still the best overall hold. The pone has virtually no chance of tracking us during the pegging.

It's always a good day when I choose the same as Rob! I'm going for the win here, and this gives me the best odds.

At 111-102* playing an Offense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:

_______________Our
Offense___Hand_Pegs_Crib____Total___W1 %____W2 %
A-A-3-J____6.57+2.09+(-5.18)=3.48____40.4____62.0
AS-3-7-9___6.50+1.57+(-4.68)=3.39____43.5____64.7

Offense______L1 %____L2 %
A-A-3-J_______24.8____30.5
AS-3-7-9______18.3____29.2

A-A-3-J is better for expected averages by 0.09pt. but at this critical end of game position the Win/Loss %s are more important and AS-3-7-9 is better for Win %s and lower for Loss %s. So, I'll select AH-J to discard.

After the QH cut I'll lead the A and play Offense:

Lead_______Our Pegging Pts._____Win %_____Loss %
7________________1.67____________1.1_______5.6
9________________1.55____________0.6_______4.0
A________________1.27____________1.4_______3.8
3________________1.22____________0.2_______3.3

Although the 7 lead is best for Our Pegging Points the A lead is best for Win %s and second lowest for Loss %s.

Full defense.
