Hope to build on the pair. 15s are gas in my tank. J 7 is a decent discard.

Monday 4:21 AM

Look forward to learning something today, I chose max out cuts, which is 9.

Daily Scrimmage should be a great day for less experienced players rewarding more passive play. 121-98 win

Monday 4:38 AM

Looks like the best call with an Ace for the starter!

Monday 4:56 AM

There will be no next hand dealt. game cuts. dec

Monday 5:12 AM

I bet the farm for a cut. The cribbage fairy loves me again. Lead the 4 and muster a point somehow.

Monday 5:20 AM

A single extra point could be crucial here, so I'm hanging onto the jack. I then opted to keep the near touchers, 9-J, instead of 7-J, alongside the A-4 for pegging.

Monday 5:25 AM

Want 6 points figuring/hoping I can steal a peg.

Monday 5:56 AM

If popularity is any indicator, looks like I blew this one. But, I love these end of game puzzles!

Monday 6:04 AM

Good puzzle Scott. Will hold the pair and the 5 combination. Throw to opponent irrelevant, hold what you think has the best chance to go out. 799J
my 2nd choice.

Monday 6:04 AM

Can’t keep enough to go out, so leaving it up to the fate of the cut and the crib gods. Wow! They like us today!

Monday 6:14 AM

A-4-9-9 has a 37% chance of being worth 6 or 8 points.
A-4-9-J has a 37% chance of being worth 6 to 9 points.

But, A-4-9-J also has a 10.87% chance of being worth 5 points (while A-4-9-9 will only be worth 3 or 4 points if it fails to get to 6/8).

Nice cut.

1. 10-10
2. 10-K
3. 10-J
4. A-6
5. A-6
6. 3-6
7. 2-3
8. 7-7

Maybe in hand five J-6 would've been better? You'd have six points with two fives, (A-A-4-J), rather than six points with two tens, (A-4-J-J).

I headed here in case we don't make it out. Hopefully, the J-7 won't be of much use to him but then the Ace came 😁

What are the odds of holding Dealer to 10 points? 6.5 to 1 against. The toss is an "I don't care." Of course I hedged by giving him the unsuited (7-9), just in case I'm wrong, and neither one of us goes out. dph has it right, with this configuration having more chances for 5 points, and then we would need to peg 2. With the great cut play defense and lead the Ace.

Monday 8:28 AM

I don't like the idea of trying to keep dealer short (only to have her have first count on the next hand), so I'm going to try to win on this hand. No luck on the starter card, but a 6, 8, or T would have probably won me the game...an 8 or a T would have.

Monday 9:56 AM

I think this hold offers the best options for defense while still allowing for us to get a lucky cut.

Monday 11:59 AM

At 114-110* playing a BOLD strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:

______________Our
Offense__Hand_Pegs_Crib__Total____Win %___Loss %
A-4-9C-J___4.63+1.52+(-4.92)=1.23____55.5____44.5
A-4-9-9____4.33+1.43+(-4.67)=1.09____52.0____48.0

A-4-9C-J is better for expected averages by 0.14pt. and is appreciably better for Win %s and lower for Loss %s. So I'll select 7-9H to discard.

After the A cut I'll lead the A and play Defense:

Lead__________Dealer's Pegging Points
A___________________(-2.20)
4___________________(-2.32)
J___________________(-2.94)
9___________________(-3.01)
