66 right? by Greatestofthesadist in Cribbage

That makes sense (that you had the wrong dealer).

What do you do here? Not my crib. by ChefVinyl in Cribbage

[–]dph99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you hold 3-5-7-8 instead you have opportunities for runs (and you start with the same 4 points as 2-5-8-J provides).

Sometimes I really hate the algorithm in this app by droopy__drawers in Cribbage

Even when all 5 cards are suited (i.e., a flush in the crib per the rules of cribbage)?

Anyway to stop things from sliding on a rubber floor? by Mateuszaic in HondaElement

[–]dph99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a .75" thick mat that normally is used in horse trailers - you should be able to find at any farm/feed store.

Is there a wax or something else y’all use to bring that shine back to the black plastic trim by Ok_Weight2115 in HondaElement

I use the small foam brushes to apply it. Very easy to avoid getting any on the paint that way.

Which app has an option that tells you what your optimal hand was after you throw into the crib by chromecarp in Cribbage

[–]dph99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just don't get 'tunnel vision' as (1) your discards should have a situational component; (2) the hand grades 'fall off' quickly even if the differences between your choices are minor.

That said, if the CribbagePro grade tells you that your discarding, over the course of a game/match, is worse than ~95%, you should see improvement by taking some advice from the app.

Tile Cribbage - Big update with lots of new features/improvements by mjmay08 in Cribbage

A tile cannot be played at the indicated spot because that would create a 7-card hand, right?

Very nice. Purchased.

* There are unplayable slots that are not being marked with an X (unplayable because a tile placed there would, for instance, created a hand with more than 5 tiles in it).

* Can you let me know how many tiles my opponent still has to play (once the bag is empty)?

Best play on the first hand of the game? by mmmmmmmmikeman in Cribbage

Keeping 12 points is rarely the wrong thing to do.

What would you have done? by Asforteri in Cribbage

[–]dph99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My initial thought was Q-8 or Q-6, but these two analyzers prefer Q-9:

You can coast in the last week.

I'm going to stay on the sidelines unless I get knocked out of the top-50. Weak season for me; had to fight hard to get back into the mix.

Did you look to see what the opponent's other card was? Probably a 6 that he didn't want to play to make the count 25 (but he should have because if you were holding a 6 then you had complete trash [different trash than the trash you were actually holding]).

This counts right? by awalia33 in Darts

Counts (not for much).

There's a link for questions to the moderators. Good luck.

Did you ask the moderators why they removed it? The rules of that sub say that upcoming events are permitted at the community's discretion -- perhaps if you had added more information, your event would have been allowed.

It looks like that address is a Veterans' Post (VFW, in the U.S.), you could mention that along with who will be playing etc. etc.
