from the USBGF facebook page: TIP OF THE DAY: In the early game, a general rule of thumb is that you should try to hit, make a point, or play safely and strategically, IN THAT ORDER.  with that in mind my play is 8-2*

Generally... if I have no clue, and there's a hit on offer.... take the hit.  ;)
