Tricky hand - 335669

Playing online this afternoon, my opponent and friend aussiekekka had this hand:
3-3-5-6-6-9

She was dealing. I didn't catch the score, but she was ahead on 2nd street.

She played it by tossing 3-3 to her crib. That leaves 6 points in the hand and 2 in the crib. I would have played it 3-5 to crib for 8 points in hand and none in the crib (but a beautiful 5 with outside straight possibility).

Looking it up in the various books, 3-5 is the right toss. But I can't help but wonder...add a 2 to the 3-3, and you have a huge hand. There are still no 2's out.

Thoughts?
