What You’ll Need

    Could you create cribbage puzzles? Dan Barlow wrote two books of cribbage puzzles. Might as well make some money in addition to creating exciting cribbage content on CZcams. I play cribbage at the senior center primarily for fellowship and keeping the brain sharp. A couple of cribbage puzzles (you have already done a lot of the work in making your videos) I believe would be marketable :).

    On the cheat sheet: We have a question on your pegging four of a kind. You list four of a kind with 4 queen example. Wouldn't this be more than 31 and only work on 7 value or less cards? Thanks for your videos.

    • @HuddleAroundGames
      @HuddleAroundGames Před 28 dny

      Absolutely true. Four of a kinds in your hand or crib or pegging are all worth 12, but only 7 or less will work when pegging because you’d go over 31 and split the sequence up. I might go back and change it now that you mention it. That does sound confusing for a new person.

    @NorthernMtnMan777 Před 2 měsíci

    Q1: Player A & B alternate playing cards while announcing running total and respective pegging points until A cannot play without exceeding 31, at which point A says “go”. Does B peg 1 for Go at this point? Q2: Suppose B can then play a card without going over 31 and A responds with another “Go” - does B receive another 1 pegging point for another Go? Q3: is there a difference between Go and Last Card?

    • @HuddleAroundGames
      @HuddleAroundGames Před 2 měsíci

      1. B pegs one point for Go! When they also cannot play. 2. No. You only get one point per Go. Go is not given until no one can play. 3. Not really. They can be considered basically the same thing.

    I choose JK to toss for emotional reasons, i can't do all the analysis @chriswalker did.

  • @chriswalker810
    @chriswalker810 Před 2 měsíci

    I lean towards dumping the K,J into the crib. You do have a magic 11 with the A,3,7. The Jack is a crap shoot unless you have a weaker player who tosses it out that brings the count below 22. Most of the time that Jack is coming out to get it 22 or above. I personally don't ever bank upon pairing the Jack. The other 4 cards are much easier to pair against during pegging. Also Kings tend to be tossed in the crib by the Pon. Pair of Kings and a Jack in the crib along with a Queen cut. Easy straight 8 possibly 9 depending upon if the Queen of Hearts is the cut. If a 5 is cut it's still potentially 8 or 9 in the crib. That's my idea of how to hold the hand.
