I lean towards dumping the K,J into the crib. You do have a magic 11 with the A,3,7. The Jack is a crap shoot unless you have a weaker player who tosses it out that brings the count below 22. Most of the time that Jack is coming out to get it 22 or above. I personally don't ever bank upon pairing the Jack. The other 4 cards are much easier to pair against during pegging. Also Kings tend to be tossed in the crib by the Pon. Pair of Kings and a Jack in the crib along with a Queen cut. Easy straight 8 possibly 9 depending upon if the Queen of Hearts is the cut. If a 5 is cut it's still potentially 8 or 9 in the crib. That's my idea of how to hold the hand.

Funny how it can be justified in so many ways. A379 is the strongest hand for pegging. For sure!

I enjoyed this video and understood each step - except for Step 3: Winners or Losers. Have you gone into this aspect in greater detail in another video? P.S. Thank you for the reminder to look for flushes. (So many things to remember...)

I haven’t gone into that aspect before. Winners are basically cuts that improve your hand. Losers are cuts that don’t (or improve the other person’s crib based on what you tossed).

I choose JK to toss for emotional reasons, i can't do all the analysis @chriswalker did. I feel powerless with face cards for pegging, and with French fry cards to start, i need a sense of control. The cost of my emotional choice is a half point, a worthy trade off, and not worth my fussing over.

When it’s that close, it all comes down to the cut too.

Can you please explain how a "special 16" works for pegging? Are there specific combos, how many cards, etc.? Favour 11s before 16s? Should these be considered as a last check or in parallel with 11s (e.g. if no 11s, look for 16s?) ...interested, and cannot find anywhere. Thx!

“Special 16” is like an 11 but a light version. Not as potent. The idea is that since people will be trying to make 15 in pegging you can keep a 16 for a chance to turn that into a 31 for two.

It’s cards that add up to 16.
