This hold has 6 cuts that get us to 12 or 14( 2 deuces and 4 threes) -we want to get as close to 70 as we can for our next deal-yes the 68 discard isn’t my favorite defensive toss in the world but it still needs some help from the oppponent or cut to hurt us

We're hanging onto the ledge. Worst case scenario, we start next hand at 63, that's close enough for me to make opps -3 the priority, thus the more defensive toss.

Cut puts us right where we want to be, and 5 is slightly less concerning with A-2 in the crib. Lead the 2 and play defense at this point.

Trying to reach for a 12 or 14 to get back into this match. The flush is soooooooooo tempting but comes in second for me today.

Their score worries me more. I think we are going to have to piece a comeback without a huge potential on this one. Would have prefer
a seven cut here hopefully opponent is still short of eighty. Two lead. dec

Not the highest quality puzzle today, but there are a couple of points to consider.

If we were even a couple points further down would consider the flush, but at 59 we need more juice.

Just felt the flush this morning.
I definitely see the potential of A, 2, 2 J.

IMO (whatever that’s worth) tossing A2 or 68 both have a chance helping. Although they also have a chance of blowing up in crib. So it was a tossup for me. Went wit 6-8 because I liked the touchers adding up to 5.

I like the flush today. A-2 doesn’t scare me as much as other touching discards, especially with another 2 out of circulation. Some decent possibilities for improvement in this hand.

hmmm…seems to be some very good players in the flush or the A22J camps. what to do ?🤔..When i was learning board position from Ras, he counseled me to simply ask the question..where do you want to be after this hand? Well ..dealing from 70+ should be the answer..but based on numerous disasters when tossing 6-8 across the board ( those cards run into 7/8..6/9..6/7..6/8..8/9..7/9 far too often for me) I decided on the flush and a more defensive discard. I rarely choose a flush that starts with only four points …but today I have ..and I just may learn something today..which is why I am here ❗️….and with a flush option puzzle …where has wasa been?..hope all is ok
Eolus619 says: Since I am thinking of Ras a lot ..here is another axiom from him which todays puzzle triggers……..” Play the game without a favorable starter card. You're likely to miss more cuts than you receive and don't believe you can improve your cutting ability. Most strong tournament players plan their hand, strategy, etc. without the benefit of the starter card. If the starter card is favorable, that is an unplanned bonus.” The “of course” it does is when does 95% of the time doing so become the other 5% of the time to do it ? The ability to figure that out is what makes a ranked player ..that & what Rob M has written in one of his Columns in CW…knowing how to play a five in the pegging sequence is a most valuable attribute to making a player elite.

When in a bind always consider position and we’ve got two easy considerations for position today. We’re on position for ND takeoff while opponent is -2 for ND takeoff. While they’re at the top of 3rd street it’s a good time not to feed their crib goodies as to attempt to throw them off position. Tossing A-2 is a good defensive toss only greatly benefitting from an accompanying
2 or 3.

We got a fortunate cut 5♦️. We’ve got our 10 point hand setting us in position for the next round and a slow-down crib to hopefully knock opponent off their position. Lead 2 and play defensive.

Good puzzle. Almost a tossup for me. Positionally (59-67*), we were supposed to be at (60-70*), so we are both slightly short. I do not want to help Dealer, but the 6-8 pitch gives me a better chance to reach my next positional hole (70*). Has more upside and is a better pegger. (I missed the 8-J which is the third option.)
MarktheShark says: A tossup for Hal as well. 24.3 v. 24.3 and 62.5 v. 62.4. (My crystal ball did not show us what the cut card would be.)

At 59-67* playing an Offense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:

_______________Our
Offense___Hand_Pegs_Crib____Total___W4 %____W5 %
A-2-2-J____6.80+1.74+(-5.51)=3.03____10.2____24.3
2D-6-8-J___6.30+1.24+(-4.71)=2.83_____8.8____24.3

Offense______L4 %____L5 %
A-2-2-J_______37.3____62.5
2D-6-8-J______34.6____62.4

A-2-2-J is better for expected averages by 0.20pt. and is slightly better for Win %s. Although 2D-6-8-J is slightly lower for Loss %s I'll still select the 6-8 to discard.

After the 5D cut I'll lead the J and play Optimally (cautious offense):

Lead____________Net Pegging Points
J____________________(-0.66)
2____________________(-0.69)
A____________________(-1.58)
