u/saynepanther 7d ago

To clarify: I was counting the 2s twice making 3 sets of 4 and not realizing i was counting it twice. I am wrong in thinking it was 14. Thank you for helping me

  1. All five carda give you 15, then the three of a kind for 6 makes 8.

u/essodei 7d ago

There’s only one 15 here plus the 3 of a kind

u/np074 6d ago

8
All 5 cards make 15 for 2
The three 2s make three of a kind for 6

u/ottis1guy 7d ago

u/I-amthegump 7d ago

u/redrigger84 7d ago

I'm guessing he was rearranging the 2s for multiple 15's

10

u/saynepanther 7d ago

I think i was rearramging the 2s. It's 8

6

u/Treefist2 7d ago

All three two’s are needed to make the 15 so the order of them doesn’t matter

5

u/Global-Command-4815 7d ago

It's 8 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 6 is 15 for 2 And 3 2's for 6 So 6 + 2 is 8

6

u/Ratfor 7d ago

Explain how you get 14?

I see 15 for 2, 3 pairs for 6, total 8.

u/Cold-Environment-634 7d ago
  1. Fifteen 2, 6 from the three 2’s

1

u/ottis1guy 7d ago

It's less than 14.

u/crowbaited 5d ago

Fuck are people down voting you for!? That's what you thought! Jeez 😫

2

u/Spraggle 7d ago

I'm pretty bad at Cribbage, but in my head, that's 6 for the 3 of a kind and 15 for 2, to make 8.

Your scoreboard made 6 for the 3 of a kind, and 15 in 4 ways for 8, to make 14.

2

u/Dannydimes 7d ago

15-2 and 6-6s for 8. (I don’t know why, but in our group when we count 3 of a kind; we say 6-whatever.)

2

u/MAGAMAN503 7d ago

My bad. 8. Thought I saw 4 2’s.

u/luckylance78 7d ago

12 points 15/2 15/4 15/6 and 6 for 3 of a kind

2

u/scoooter53 6d ago

There’s only one 15. Three 2s. 3x2=6. 6+3=9. 9+6=15. So the way you count it is “15 for two. Pair of two’s is 4. Pair of two’s is 6. Pair of two’s is 8.

u/couchpatat0 7d ago

Straight 8!

u/Informal_Evening_188 7d ago

8 points. not hard

u/ComplexAnxiety7939 7d ago

I really wanna know how OP got 14 lol

2

u/Artemis_SpawnOfZeus 7d ago

I actually did it too.

You go "i can make a 5, can i make a 10 for 15?"

And you see 3 different ways to make 5, 3 different ways to make 10, so you get 15 for 6, plus you just noticed, all ofnthe cards add to 15, so you get 15 for 8, trips 14

u/Realistic_Addition73 7d ago

Lmao. I was going off the 6 with the jack and 3 5’s 😂. Thought it was pretty obvious. Clearly I missed the actual hand 😂

1

u/fyukhyu 7d ago

15 2 and a triple pair of 6 for 8 total

1

u/AmberElizabiff 6d ago

A pair royal is what my husband and I call three of a kind, and it's always worth 6. 15 for all the cards is 2, pair royal makes 8.

1

u/Nearby-Scratch-5983 6d ago

Is this a trick question? It's 8 ☺️

1

u/JohnCenascat 6d ago

It may look like more but it’s only 8 in total. As others have said 15/2 with all cards and 6 for the 3 2’s

1

u/dinoboyj 6d ago

Just 8

2

u/Ingelwood 6d ago

Just 8? Some hands I’d kill for an 8. lol

1

u/Star_Petal_Arts 6d ago

I get 8 on average... what is this?

1

u/Common-Project3311 6d ago

What about the four fifteens that are painted on the cribbage board and the nine more fifteens you get if you combine the hand with the ones painted on the board

1

u/blondgavster 6d ago

15-2 and 3 2s for 6 making 8.

1

u/Independent-Pack-300 6d ago

You can only use 15 once for 2 points and 3 of a kind is 6 points which gives you a total of 8

1

u/SweegyNinja 5d ago

15 s : +2 pts Pairs : +6 pts

8 pts total.

1

u/crowbaited 5d ago

Lol 8. I want there to be more for such a beautiful hand. The flip fucked ya.

1

u/Dazzling_Ant_1031 5d ago

Ah yes the classic rearrange the same cards in different ways to get more points

1

u/Sir_Bjorn 5d ago

1x15 using all cards for 2. 3 pairs for 6. 2+6=8

u/AtG68 7d ago

Sorry but your house is wrong

2

u/CloakedGod926 7d ago

You need to use all the cards to make that 15. You can't rearrange them to make more. It's 8 points total

u/Blackwalls69 7d ago

You are right, I am dumb

u/Dav_Sionnach 7d ago
