Keep and pass
Worth holding: 3 Bam, 7 Bam, 7 Dot, 3 Dot, 5 Bam.
In the Charleston, these can go, and here is why:
Green Dragon: an unpaired Green Dragon, and your direction is Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9)
2 Crak: it does nothing for Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9), and it sits outside your Bam and Dot runs, so it does less for your second option, Consecutive Numbers, than your Bam and Dot tiles
2 Bam: only backs your second option, Consecutive Numbers, the weakest of what's left
