Love it! And they say there isn't enough skill in cribbage? When you talk it out, you can really see how skill is involved.
It's a fascinating game!
Good video. Thanks for posting.
My choices (mostly chosen before hearing your opinion)
Hand 1 - I would dump 7,3 so that I retain the ace for pegging; I'm less concerned with a naked 7+3=10 going into the crib than I am with getting 31 for two
Hand 2 - I would dump 10,9 bearing in mind that the most common cut is a 10 or face card thereby giving me two fifteens along with the run
Hand 3 - I agree with both you and L Key below, but my instinct would be to go with 7,7,6,5
Hand 4 - I would throw Q,J , again because face cards and 10s come up so often as cuts, and that sets you up for pairs and runs in the crib, and potentially two fifteens with the pair of aces, also a hand of low numbers is really good for pegging
Hand 5 - keep Q,Q,9,6 , fifteen two and a pair is four, and throwing 7,2 is reasonable because they're so far apart. Breaking pairs never works out in my opinion.
Hand 6 - Agree.
Hand 7 - Throw K,8 . 3 for six and as little help with runs as possible for 'Pone.
Hand 8 - Kings and 5 stay in hand, two sticks around for pegging, 9,8 go to crib for runs.
Great insight!
I would discard the 8 and 10 instead on that third hand (I think it was third hand). 8 and 10 doesn't immediately give the opponent points and the 5, 6, 7, 7, gives you the double run, and of one of those points gets hit again, you have the potential of going much further. By keeping 5, 6, 7, 8 like you did, you start with 6 points. By keep 5, 6, 7, 7, you start with 8 points. Just my thinking. I'm a below beginner cribbage player (only played 1 game so far) so I'm probably totally wrong.
I think that is an equally valid, and maybe better, option!
he actually would start with 10, run of 4, flush for 4 and 15 for 2; not my first option either, but i think its the right one when you take a min to figure it out.@@HuddleAroundGames
board position always a factor (26 theory)
Always, if only I understood it better!
Well it’s really all a “crap”shoot 😉
Luck plays a huge role!
