So we talked about hands to stand pat on. What are hands that you want to make sure
you improve on? Well, let's be clear. If you do your first roll and you don't have at least
a pair, it's time to improve, obviously right? So, let's just make sure we know what that
is. That would be what in, if you were playing regular poker in poker parlors, it's called
high card. Here is Ace, King, Queen, oop, no Jack, ten, nine. Ace, King, Queen, ten,
nine. That's high card Ace. Well, that is not a hand to stand pat in this game because
it is the worst hand, pretty much. Also, if you had say, a pair of nines or tens. A pair
of nines, you want to roll again. You have a pair of tens, roll again, try to improve
on that. Further, of course, if you are going second, obviously you have to roll until you
beat your opponent's hand on the number of rolls that they had. So, the very least hand,
again to make sure we understand, that you can stand on if you're going first, is a pair
of aces. Anything else that's lower, roll again.
