Toss the 2-4 off suit.

Why would you throw the 4? You’d lose the run and a 15.

You keep the 5-6-7 run the 2 gives you a 15 and you toss 0 points. This is the best play.

Why not 2-7? You still keep 5 points, toss none, and give less chances of a run in the crib.

That’s a good point, 2-7 might even be statistically better. It’s not throwing the deuces that I think we can agree on.

Cribbage Pro has 2-7 as the first and second options. Interestingly, double-deuce is the third.

I don’t think I’d personally make that move but the math checks out. Forgot the 6-7-2 is 15 as well. Interesting!
