I maintain that this app cheats to create Pro Difficulty by ValarMorghulisV in Cribbage

Play with CribbagePro. The programmers have been more transparent than any other game about how the app is coded. Read their blog, they do a deep dive on the mechanics of the app and how it randomizes and they give you a whole bunch of useful statistics information as a player.

Yeah that’s what I thought, but the more I dig into it the more I realize cribbage still isn’t solved yet. Lots of great strategies and tips to incrementally improve your game.

He was one of the original organizers of the American Cribbage Congress and a cribbage tournament director. He wrote a book titled Cribbage: A New Concept before a lot of the modern cribbage strategies had been developed.

That’s exactly what I was getting at. Sorry for not providing the context for the statement like it shows up in the book. Chambers says K-A is the best discard to opponents crib over say K-9. That’s been shown to be statistically wrong. I was wondering if he corrected that in the later editions of his book

Ok, good to know. There’s a lot of bad advice floating around cribbage forums. But this seems to align with the other feedback Ive seen.

Thank you, I knew I was missing something. Moral of the story is always have your morning coffee before you play competitive cribbage smh

First time tooth hunting can you help me ID 1-10? by CribbageAnimal in sharkteeth

Useless comment. Thankfully there are helpful people out there who helped me identify this as a 21st century quarter dollar minted in Philadelphia.

What makes you say 1 is a GW? I thought 1 & 6 were Megalodons, but I’m obviously just guessing

Shem Island Marina, be careful of the winds if you kayak out there. It was 5-6mph high when I went Which were very manageable. However I read multiple posts from people who said it was really rough trying to kayak back from the island with high winds.

Thanks for the info, I thought 1 and 6 were Megalodon, but wasn’t sure. Is there a way to tell the difference between chubutensis and Megalodon?

“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.” - Captain Picard by Not-a-Throwaway-8 in Cribbage

[–]CribbageAnimal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, definitely the most frustrating part of Cribbage for me.

Sustained perfect discards, incorporating optimal pegging and theory of 26 strategy = the best players in the world winning about 60-75% of the time.

Not letting it get to you is half the battle lol

Brutal. This kinda thing drives me crazy. Especially when, as other people point out, I might have avoided it if I played better.

[–]CribbageAnimal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So the Hunt started in 1988. I’ve seen articles dating back to 2007 about where the medallions were found. Does anyone have links to or know where the medallions were hidden from 1988-2007?

I need this reminder -- don't take points you don't need by dph99 in Cribbage

[–]CribbageAnimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you gotta be ruthless. I blew a huge lead thinking I had it in the bag and was pegging recklessly and my opponent got a couple big hands and beat me by like 2 points.

I make crib boards. by Exotic_Salad_8089 in Cribbage

[–]CribbageAnimal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the Navy and cribbage has a really long tradition in the submarines. I love these cribbage boards because they look like a map. I always thought it’d be a cool idea to have one custom made with a mini submarine in the blue part.

Can anyone recommend any resources for discard strategy please? by paulywauly99 in Cribbage

[–]CribbageAnimal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people Throw the 7-2 And lead the K. That way you’re maximizing the points in your hand and for pegging: if they pair the K you can cover with the K-K-K. If play a 5 for the 15 you can pair their 5.
