Not sure what to toss? Comment here! - 29 December 2018

I agree with the previous comments. The rule of 26 says that you'll want to be Dealer in the next hand from hole 69+. The double run will get you there, but a pair of fives to your opponent is very risky, and unnecessarily so here. 2-3-5-5 will become 8+ points after cuts of 22,333,4444,55,7777,8888 or 16*X =35/46.

35 cards = 36 cards - 1 card = 35 cards = (66) - (11) = 35 cards = (613%) - (12%) = 35 cards = 78% - 2% = 35 cards = 76% of the possible cuts.

The cut of one of the three remaining Aces gives you seven points, so it's really only the sizes and nines to avoid.

With a second 2 and a 3 known to be out of circulation, an unsuited A-2 to your opponent should prove safe enough due to the effect of negative delta.
