Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 19
Aqua 37
Argus 40*3
Weez 84

AJ takes advantage of his previous play as squeezes into the last slot of row 2! Drat it! Everyone targets a higher row.

Fortunately everyone can fit on row 2, filling it and increasing the count!

Doesn't take a sage to predict a bust of row 1 next round!

Only someone with the 1 can do that.

True! Then maybe carnage will ensue!

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 3
Weez 77*5
Argus 80*3
Aqua 101

AJ feels the 2 is safe and plays his 3!

Both Weez and Argus play between 19 and 84 hoping not to be the lowest! Unfortunately Weez is and claims the 6 points! Could be worse!

Between them the row is now worth more points than before!

Aqua has a nice card for row 4!

Next round look interesting!

Play in order of lowest card first:

Argus 51
Weez 63
Aqua 75*2
AJ 78

The consensus seems to be play on row 1 but high enough not to bust! Unfortunately only Argus fails to meet that criteria and takes 5 points as everyone follows on. Could have been worse!

Situation hasn't changed much, so now what?
