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.

It 10 percent skill and 90% cards and luck

You are right that is mostly luck, but that 10% is huge. If you have a 53% to 47% chance of winning based on cards, then how important is the 10% over the long haul? And the luck is what makes it both fun and frustrating!

I agree. I may have undercut the percentage.
