Promising, needs shaping. Direction: Consecutive Numbers.

The deal

3 Bam, 5 Crak, 5 Crak, 6 Bam, 6 Bam, 6 Crak, 7 Crak, 7 Dot, 8 Crak, Red Dragon, Flower, Flower, East

What the coach saw

Your hand leans toward Consecutive Numbers (4 in a row in craks). Second option: Pairs Hands.

Three or more pairs, consider steering toward a pairs-style line.

A 4-tile run in craks is a real spine, protect it.

The strongest category here is Consecutive Numbers (4 in a row in craks). The backup direction, if the draws turn, is Pairs Hands.

Keep and pass

Worth holding: 6 Bam, 5 Crak, 5 Crak, Flower, Flower.

In the Charleston, these can go, and here is why:

Red Dragon: an unpaired Red Dragon, honors only score in groups, and your direction is Consecutive Numbers

East: an unpaired East, honors only score in groups, and your direction is Consecutive Numbers

3 Bam: a loner, serves neither Consecutive Numbers nor Pairs Hands
