The target audience for this post is the less-experienced players (so, if your reply is "duh, every idiot knows that", then I'll likely ignore it).

Q1. You are in hole 114 (and dealer) and your opponent is in hole 113. Your hand is 2-3-4-6-Q-K, what are you going to keep (and why)?

A1. The 2-3-4 and any of the other cards give you 5 points; if the pegging goes the distance you are guaranteed one more point so you can hold any one of the 6-Q-K and have enough (I'm trusting the crib or pegging will get you another point) as long as you get a chance to count.

Q2. If you don't understand the value of an out-card (Q or K in this case) and hold 2-3-4-6, what are you going to play when pone starts the pegging with a 7?

A2. [your reply below]

[Edit: Maybe this player (the dealer) is taking the approach that *he* needs to peg the 7 points; answers from that perspective might be interesting and could justify the 2-3-4-6 hold.]
