I didn't really want to toss two points to dealer but prefer the ten card to hold than. a nine card. |

Toss up today. I obviously wasn't careful with my suits. (Should've tossed 9d rather than 9s) I prefer this hold for the peg, and it adds 2 additional cuts to 8. More importantly (For me) it takes 3 additional cards to make a 12+ crib vs 2 cards throwing the 99. Today, I'll lead the Qc after the botched discard, discarding the correct suit the Qs is the lead.
Cribbage Pro Daily Scrimmage Score: 120 to 121 LOSS Painful end getting outpegged 2-0 hand 9, but I gave away this win in Hand 5 getting too cute/greedy in the peg. Tall Troy says: My undoing was pegging the first hand. I led the 2 and opponent got 14. 40 total. I pegged 16 on the last hand but lost 121-118. fentesk says: I lost the game on Hand 1 pegging (7-14) leading the 3, and that spooked me on Hand 5 and I only came out 2-1, ending with a 119-121 loss. |

Didn’t want to leave a 9-Q gap just in case the J showed up. And it did! Sometimes we just get lucky. |

I think a connecting 9-10 will do more damage than 9-9. |

If I were the dealer, I'd rather have the 9-9 sent to me than the 9-10. I decided to not do what I'd want done in dealer's shoes and sent the 9-10. We got the 4/46 cut that makes this choice look particularly poor, oh well. |

At +2 to Dealer's -14, it's offense with the discard. Got very lucky with the cut. Switching to Defense, as it is not lost on me that Dealer may have 8 to 16 points in his/her Crib. Lead the Qc. Tall Troy says: Do you have the "+2....-14" tables memorized or do you have to use electronics to recite those numbers? fentesk says: They're calculated in realtime based on par holes and hand averages, so no extra tables/electronics end up being needed. In this case, the next par hole is 70. If we get our average of 10 for non-dealer we'll be at 72, so +2 to par. Dealer wants to be dealing first above 70 and at 56 they are -14 to par. (At least that's my understanding, I'm sure others will chime in if needed). |

Welp, Jack was the kill card. I like the idea of leading Queen getting a shot at opponent following with a 9 to then get paired by my 9.

The wrong cut here, and no joy on CribbagePro either. 114-121 loss.
1. A-7 2. 9-J 3. 7-Q 4. 9-10 5. 6-J 6. 7-9 7. J-Q 8. 3-K Maybe I should've gone safer with Q-10 in hand seven? |

"There's no way we're gonna cut a Jack," says I.
***Proceeds to cut a Jack.*** Gougie00 says: “There are not enough Indians in the world to defeat the 7th Cavalry” -George Armstrong Custer Tall Troy says: IMO, you shouldn't discard by relying on the cut for points. You can hope for a good cut but it should be a random event. I wonder about the electronic version of cutting though. Seems to me I get too many "great" cuts when playing Cribbage Pro. Trust me.....I'm not that lucky. I need to play more cribbage with paper cards and see what the cuts are like. domandcarol says: It also seems to me that there are too many big hands 16+ on crib pro as well. Unfortunately, I don’t have many opportunities to play with real cards to really test it, so probably won’t be able to personally test the theory. |

Like the chance for 15 at these relative positions and also agree 910 could be as dangerous as 99, as evidenced today. |

At 62-56* playing an Offense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:
_______________Our Offense___Hand_Pegs_Crib____Total___W5 %____W6 % 10-Q-Q-Q___7.74+1.09+(-6.27)=2.56____54.0____38.1 9-Q-Q-Q____6.91+1.02+(-5.52)=2.41____50.9____37.2 9-9-Q-Q____4.96+0.98+(-4.48)=1.46____43.3____32.4 9-10-Q-Q*__3.96+1.33+(-3.88)=1.41____42.4____31.8 Offense______L5 %____L6 % 10-Q-Q-Q______57.2____43.9 9-Q-Q-Q_______54.1____45.1 9-9-Q-Q_______50.2____49.6 9-10-Q-Q*_____48.7____50.1 * unsuited 9-Q 10-Q-Q-Q is best for expected averages by 0.15pt. and is significantly best for Win %s. Although it's the worst for Loss %s I'll still select the 9-9 to discard. After the J cut I'll lead a Q and play Defense: Lead___________Dealer's Pegging Points Q______________________(-3.06) 10_____________________(-3.16) |
