Use to play for 20 for the game and dollar a point…

Awesome to see a new video!!! Thanks for these. I am often surprised that people who have played a long time don't seem to be aware of these traps.

The dealer usually tries to get the count over 15 if they see a 6 laid. That's if they don't have a 9. Definitely a good trap but doesn't work all the time and in every hand. Especially trash hands that have good pegging cards. Yeah in general this would be a very good pegging trap.

I didn’t know that trick so thanks for the tip! I probably would’ve thrown down the 4 in most cases and I definitely would have gone for the 15

I've been trying to find an online tutorial that shows a portion of a game with real cards. I had such hope at the beginning when you held up a wooden cribbage board. The fast talking concerned me, but i thought that once play started, you'd slow down. And then the computer game came on. Honestly, I'd watch for an hour if it would mean some visual learning in real time, looking at hands, listening to the thought process of why you chose to discard which cards at the beginning, etc. Why is no one teaching that? You clearly know the game, is going in depth on the basics a possibility?

Thank you for your videos, they have really helped me and my husband learn cribbage before we start an extended vacation. One question we have has to do with shuffling, do you shuffle the whole deck in between hands?

I wish you used real cards. Im unclear on how to keep the original hand separated during play. The computer automatically remembers the original cards.

Whos watching this that plays crib on game colony?

I thoubht if was 31 or 15?

We’re just learning. Thanks for your tips

Cribbage is so easy to play. I've been playing since I was 10 years old, but trying to teach someone is almost impossible. 😅

at the 8:51 mark, maybe consider throwing the Q-spades to crib instead of the Q-clubs b/c with 2-clubs keeps faint hope of a crib flush alive.

This video makes more sense

New to the game. You don't get to look for 31's in the scoring phase?

OK so I get that all the super hands break down into the simple pairs and runs that are embedded in the hand. So, why don't you get to count a run of 4 as 4pts for the simple run of four but also add 3 points for each of the 2 runs of 3 embedded in the run of 4? For example A234 would count as the simple run of 4 for 4 points, but the hand also has an A23 run of 3 for 3 points plus a 234 run of 3 for another 3 points? I would have guessed that hand with A234 gets 10 points total using that logic.

Im new to cribbage,if i have 2 3 4 5,is that a run of 2 3 &4 (3 points)and a run of 3 4 &5(3 points) and a run of 2 3 4 &5 (4 points)???

My brother came up with an improved three player variant that gives everyone better hands. Deal 6 cards to each player and one to your crib. Everyone puts one card in the crib and one card in the “trash”, which is a separate pile that can get stashed under the deck after the cut. The advantage of this approach is that with 6 cards to choose from you get the same quality hands as in a two player game. The quality of the crib does go down, since you can only influence 1/4th of it, and the non-dealer players can stuff a good card that doesn’t work with their hand in the trash. An interesting meta game evolves with what card to put in the crib. If everyone has the same idea what the worst card is, that group-think can lead to three of a kind. We had more sets of three kings than luck would dictate before we realized what was going on.

I believe there was another 15 score in your last example 6,7, 2 for 15/6...but then I'm a beginner so what do I know??

good review. i knew a couple that played 2 out of 3 hands every day to determine who was boss and who was pion for entire day. it was my parents.

Tried playing cribbage for the first time today and was completely confabulated. Now after watching this video I will be able to tackle the game. Thanks

Do you play cribbage war, or king cribbage or cross cribbage or Cribbage solitaire

The reason three of a kind is worth 6 is because it's actually three pairs. One of things that beginners need to know is that as long as one card in a combination is new it's a different combination.

Would love to play you in a game!

I’ve played cribbage 40 yrs and the most common practice is to count 15s then pairs then runs then nobs. I guess I can see counting the same way every time regardless of the order but most any experienced player will count 15-pair-run-nobs.

I just started playing cribbage yesterday and can't stop. These videos really help, now to find people who play face to face

Great cribbage site. Please advise how to score: 1 x Ace, 3 x 4s & 1 x 6.

Sorry but this video was just as confusing as all the others on KZbin. Seems like a total waste of time trying to learn this nonsensical game….

Newbie to cribbage here. You have great videos! Thanks!

Here mate, spend less time telling who starts and more time telling us the rules yeah?

Very helpful

Video starts at 1:28

Thank you so much. You explained the game so well. Time now to beat my husband!😅

Well done! 👍🏼 gracias ☺️

Thank you for the score sheet!❤😊

Omg this is for beginners? I used to play crib with my dad 40 years ago and I've totally forgot the game! But this tutorial is not helping me at all 🤷🏼‍♀️ sorry

Best video on scoring. Thanks.

I need to make my husband cry

Please do a video on the rules for the go in 3 and 4 handed cribbage. So many people change the rules for 3 and 4 handed cribbage by not allowing a player to play all their cards under 31.

You might want to mount that mirror on the wall correctly

lol this is not the easiest at all, mot by the way my brain works. It is just completely confusing.

Probably the greatest card game....just downloaded the online cribbage game... addictive as hell 👍😂

Here's a guy who says you should do this and here's the reason why but then skips the part about if he was right or wrong

You never showed how any of the hands turned out

There’s a mathy KZbin channel called numberphile, they did a shuffling effectiveness video on different kinds of shuffles. For the riffle shuffle you need to do it a few times 2-7 (can’t remember) to get a completely original deck. In order to get the same effectiveness in the overhand shuffle, you’d have to complete (guess how many) over hand shuffles… 10,000!

You've been playing since you were 5. You left a lot out of your explanation because it's like muscle memory to you and questions that a beginner would have do not occur to you. You did not explain how to add up the numbers nor how the players interact in adding the numbers per hand. Nothing. What??!! You need to go through a more thorough play by play as if you were teaching someone from another planet. This did not help me and I have to play cribbage with a 95 year old expert tomorrow.

do you have a video, or can you make a video, showing how to play 4 player no teams, using a 4 track cribbage board?

Wondering why the HM text said a 1 in 12 chance of 16 or more when it should be a 1 in 13? It said in the hand, so cutting a J might give the opponent his heels to offset the net score, but that is not part of the hand, I would think. Perhaps because his heels would be automatic, the algorithm uses it in the calc? I guess if you are counting on a cut J for extra score and you are not the dealer, you should always remember to subtract heels from net score. (In this case, a double-double 3 card run would be worth it.)

Nice video. Why was Q,Q a better discard than 10,10? Chart appeared to indicate it was a better net score because of the crib. I guess for the crib viewed in isolation maybe there are a few more run discards likely...?
