This decision in effect would give me an extra turn to attempt to score more points in a more difficult position later on, such as the low straight. I would hold 1122 on the basis that the 2s would give me my bonus and leave me the ones available as a dump space for later, and I might convert it into a full house. Some people would hold the 2s, others would hold 1,2,3. Imagine a position where a player has scored 59 on the left hand side with only ones and twos left open, has already placed a zero in yahtzee and has 3kind, 4kind, full house and low straight open and rolls 11223. Of course, there are some decisions that are easier than others, but there are times when clever decision making can really make a difference over the course of a game. The separation is in the decision making. A poor player will generally score less with the same dice rolls as a good player. If you have a good player and a bad player, the good player will tend to have a far higher average score after 100 or so games. But, it is not purely a game of luck, there is also skill and method to the gameplay.
