DejMar pegs 205, mostly by getting lots of four-of-a-kinds with the face cards:
A, A, 2, 2, 3 = 16
A, A, 2, 2, 3 = 16
4, 4, 4, 4, 3 = 20
6, 6, 6, 6, 3 = 24
7, 7, 8, 8, 9 = 24
7, 7, 8, 8, 9 = 24
10,10,10,10, 5 = 20
J, J, J, J, 5 = 21
Q, Q, Q, Q, 5 = 20
K, K, K, K, 5 = 20
===================
Total 205
The two cards left over are two 9s.
My best was 196, concentrating on 16-point-runs:
AA223 x2 = 16x2
44556 x2 = 24x2
67788 x2 = 24x2
99TTJ x2 = 17x2 with the right jack
JQQKK x2 = 17x2 with the right jack
[The extra cards here are a pair of 3's but could have been A, 2 or 3 or even a combination.] |
