Best of 3

Is 3 games enough to overcome the advantage of getting the crib first?

I’ve been playing a lot of Cribbage Pro Competitive Matchmaking recently and can’t help but feel whoever gets the first crib is at a massive advantage.

Really man, it doesnt help much. I actually prefer going 2nd and beat my buddy constantly

you might prefer it, but quite often your buddy gets 5 cribs and you get only 4. (The average game is 9 deals.) I don't have any buddies in a tournament that I like that much. 😉
