JQT would tell us the flush usually averages a point higher, but the power of the 5 in the crib was enough to tip the scale for me. Kept the T with the 9 as adjacent cards, pitching the K to hopefully match in the crib with pone's most common discard.

Prefer not to toss pairs into my crib. Prefer a five.

Opponent habits vs the flush. A case that if it was our opponent crib instead. So offense here. dec

Hoping 3-3 finds friends in the crib.

I kept the flush in hand 6. The app didn't like it.
I chose suited 7-8 in the last hand, but I was only five holes out.

The problem with pairs in the crib is that they often just end up as pairs in the crib. If you have use for the pair in your hand (scoring or pegging) they are usually much more powerful there.

The K5 usually ends up as more than a 15 in the crib.

To me, that is a no-brainer.

At 0*-0 playing a Defense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s:

_______________Pone's
Defense___Hand_Pegs____Crib_Total____W9 %____W10 %
3-3-9-10___5.91+(-2.07)+6.52=10.36____36.3____50.2
5-9-10-K___6.26+(-2.09)+5.73= 9.90____36.0____48.7
3-3-9-K____5.39+(-2.00)+6.47= 9.86____34.8____49.0
3D-5-9-K___8.46+(-2.20)+3.47= 9.73____35.7____48.6

Defense_______L9 %____L10 %
3-3-9-10_______25.2____23.9
5-9-10-K_______26.7____25.6
3-3-9-K________24.9____24.7
3D-5-9-K_______27.2____25.9

3-3-9-10 is best for expected averages by 0.46pt. and is slightly best for Win %s and lowest for Loss %s. So, I'll select the 5-K to discard.

After the A cut I'll play Defense to the lead.
