Promising, needs shaping. Direction: Consecutive Numbers.

The deal

1222334566JJ

1 Dot, 2 Crak, 2 Crak, 2 Dot, 3 Bam, 3 Crak, 4 Crak, 5 Crak, 6 Bam, 6 Crak, Joker, Joker, South

What the coach saw

Your hand leans toward Consecutive Numbers (5 in a row in craks). Second option: Like Numbers.

2 jokers, gold for pungs and kongs, but remember: jokers can never fill a pair, and you may not pass them in the Charleston.

A 5-tile run in craks is a real spine, protect it.

The strongest category here is Consecutive Numbers (5 in a row in craks). The backup direction, if the draws turn, is Like Numbers.

Keep and pass

Worth holding: 5 Crak, 6 Crak, 2 Dot, 2 Crak, 2 Crak.

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

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

1 Dot: a loner, serves neither Consecutive Numbers nor Like Numbers

3 Bam: a loner, serves neither Consecutive Numbers nor Like Numbers

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.
