We have our positional hole with no dreams of reaching the next one. They are already +1 on their next set, we cannot afford to be tossing any points over the board at this juncture, this is a full D scenario, imo, therefore I went wide with the 2 cards that carry the highest negative deltas from my hand. Lead the 3, play optimally.
Cribbage Pro Daily Scrimmage Score: 121 to 104 Chalk except Hand 5 (3-3) from 50*-59 Got caught with my hand in the cookie jar Hand 3 peg, unnecessarily giving up 4 holes to take 2. fentesk says: I botched Hand 7 and got bailed out. I thought I was looking at A-3-4-10-J-Q and gave myself the A-4, but the Q was a K and I had a two-point hand, but that mistake hit in the crib. I almost wish dumb mistakes like that would get punished, not rewarded. |

Trying to keep combination of most points while not giving away anything to the crib |

I think the best course is to boat anchor the crib. If everything averages out , we should get first count from around 115 |

Not with majority but this hand has potential plus not giving up much to dealer at this time. |

Playing defense to try and put myself in position to deal second from above 44, but to do it better than the opponent.
Taking the "two pairs are defensive peggers" approach to complete my defense today. |

Cribbage Pro 121-97.
There are a lot of really good scores eveyday. Way better than mine on a consistent basis and better than a lot of folks who obviously know a lot about the game and post ,comment regularly on this site. Are these folks essay better cribbage minds or have they figured out the app? If it's the cribbage minds, I wish they would start posting on this site. Tall Troy says: I think they somehow cheat the system. Although, there was one time I just did my normal thing and got top ten....so it can happen legit. scottcrib says: Those high scores that you see are after people have played and improved their strategy and relative scores based upon their previous attempts. It's not their first time through. Tall Troy says: The highest ones are multiple attempts but you can filter 1st attempts only. I feel some of the first attempt scores are obtained by cheating. But no proof. tevdodd says: Some days it's pretty obvious. I'll peak at the top games once or twice a week for entertainment purposes. Today for instance, the top attempt I saw wasn't good play, but it was realistic that someone could have done it. |

If I was a little closer position wise I might do the 2-2-3. Here I will cower and do the double eleven keep. Entertain a nine lead here? dec |

Both the 3 and 6 lead are covered, but there are fewer scoring replies to the 3 lead than the 6, (333 Vs 666,99). Since I don't want to encourage the pegging, I'll lead the 3 and hold a 9 card ready.

I want to get to 52 and the 2,2 toss can be risky but, in this position, I'll try it. |

Playing to position. Giving a defensive crib toss.

I think tevdodd has it just right at top of the page. Lead the 3, and fake the flush with the 2 for (15-2), otherwise play off. I'd be happy to deal from 45 paying a zero hand here if I could toss one of the top ten Pone Discards. That's not possible but the (2-9) has the lowest Crib Average from this bunch. |

At 45-45* playing a SAFE strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:
_______________Dlr's Defense___Hand_Pegs____Crib____Total_____W5 %___W6 % 2-2-6-9____5.57+(-2.48)+(-4.18)=(-1.09)___4.7____20.3 3-6-9-9____7.17+(-2.85)+(-5.96)=(-1.64)___6.5____20.4 2-2-9-9____5.48+(-2.96)+(-4.17)=(-1.65)___4.3____19.2 Defense______L5 %____L6 % 2-2-6-9_______15.8____44.2 3-6-9-9_______19.5____48.4 2-2-9-9_______15.6____43.8 2-2-6-9is best for expected averages by 0.55pt. and is slightly best for Win %s and a close second lowest for Loss %s. So, I'll select a 3-9 to discard. After the K cut I'll lead a 2 and play Defense: Lead__________Dealer's Pegging Points 2____________________(-2.19) 6____________________(-2.33) 9____________________(-2.59) |
