The deal
2 Dot, 3 Dot, 4 Bam, 4 Dot, 5 Crak, 5 Dot, 7 Dot, 8 Bam, 8 Crak, 8 Crak, Joker, South, South
What the coach saw
Your hand leans toward Consecutive Numbers (4 in a row in dots). Second option: Like Numbers.
1 joker, gold for pungs and kongs, but remember: jokers can never fill a pair, and you may not pass them in the Charleston.
A 4-tile run in dots is a real spine, protect it.
The strongest category here is Consecutive Numbers (4 in a row in dots). The backup direction, if the draws turn, is Like Numbers.
Keep and pass
Worth holding: South, South, 8 Bam, 8 Crak, 8 Crak.
In the Charleston, these can go, and here is why:
4 Bam: a loner, serves neither Consecutive Numbers nor Like Numbers
5 Crak: a loner, serves neither Consecutive Numbers nor Like Numbers
2 Dot: the least-connected of your Consecutive Numbers tiles, something has to go
A new hand like this one goes live every morning, read tile by tile by the coach. Play today’s hand free, or get the coach on your own tiles with the 14-Day Challenge or the Club.
