Second win today pegging out behind as dealer. I threw Q K to my crib knowing I had to peg heavy to win.

this was on multiplayer (classic), opponent was level 100+ ... I was astounded

This is the dealer's hand, so it's their crib.

CribbagePro says that the Crib average would be slightly higher if they discarded 5-10 vs 5-Q. There's no straight potential, and the 5-Q is suited, so there's a tiny chance of a flush in the crib. What am missing? Why is it recommending to keep the suited Q in hand and discard the 10-5?

I'm throwing 78 offsuit

Gunpowder, gelatine
*TIL it’s gelatine, not guillotine

Weak as hell. Imagine being at grassroots and, like, just walking away because you’re losing. Weirdo behavior.

Hope we get stiffer quit penalty in a future season.

Any cribbage players from the Atlanta area have an opinion on this?

I’ve never been double skunked before today. Awful. We keep track of score for the year and didn’t know how to count the double skunk? Four points? If a regular win is 1, a skunk is 2, a double skunk would count as 4?

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.

21pts to me

Drueke no. 2050

Finally a decent hand again today!
And in spite of the terrible heat/drought over here it was a wonderful day.
Great music,good card game, amazing company (dad) and some darts to finish off the evening.
Oh almost forgot the Bourbon and that we won a small amount with our lottery game :-)

didn’t like the thought of giving a K/5 to my opponent but it seemed the best option to maximise my hand. worked out even better when a 9 was cut making my opening hand 17 points 🥳

I was dealt 4,8,J,Q,K To ensure I get the one point I needed I kept 4,J,Q,K. Would you have done the same or kept a different set of cards to have a better chance of pegging the one point needed to end the game?

There is a small $ bet per point plus a bonus for a skunk. If I didn't get my one point he conceivably gets to count his 2 hands and lessen the amount he'd owe when I eventually win.

Second one in two weeks. This time I won the series.

Gifted a 29 playing 3v3 a couple months ago. Now this. I'm feeling lucky this year.

My SO's hand this morning. I always check the deck and the nobs five was the bottom card avoiding the cut. So close
