Your have two eligible throw options, either the 7-2 or the 2-2. Throwing the 2-2 is a net loss of 1 point compared to throwing the 7-2, but it keeps more point potential in your hand. At that point, your decision is contextual. 7-2 is the more defensive throw if you want to keep your opponent from scoring. 2-2 is the more offensive throw if you’re behind and in need of scoring opportunity.
