Ray Rowley He was playing on the easiest setting so the computer lets you win. It’s practically impossible to lose to it

@@danielkaechele8345 I guess that makes sense

You get a hand, and have to discard 2 for a two person game into their crib. Don't give them easy point cards and save them for you. Your crib when you deal put helpful cards into your crib with out messing up your hand.

I believe the reasoning would be that 10s are MORE likely because the suit cards all count as 10 as well👍

@@raylanning6667 I get that if he was playing a 5 to start, but there are just as many 5s as there are 6s in the pack

You’re on the right track, but the real reason is: players are more likely to keep a dealt 5 than a 6 because it scores with more cards than a 6. For example, a 5 in my hand scores when TJQK is led or held, while a 6 only scores with a 9 led or held. Therefore A player is generally more likely to keep a 5 in his hand than a 6.

This is true, it would be more accurate to avoid playing a 5 and drawing a 10 or a face card from the opponent. I guess I just reflexively avoid a 10-5 combination. Thanks for the comment!

I see it as gambling on opponents mental maths, leading a 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 have just as much chance of 15 as the last, but a 10 or 5 scream 15, where as the others take a bit more thought and hopefully they miss it...... And they do.

5s are the key card in cribbage. Same odds of getting dealt a 5 or 6, but opponent is way more likely to hold onto a 5. 9 is the better lead.

I agree

Don't lead with a 5 or 10 :)

😅😊how do we take this from the first 2526 😢of 9th row of the 😢😮56😮😮😮😊😅r

With 2-4-7-10-10-J I recommend throwing the 2 and jack to your own crib. Of course you have a weak hand here but one strategy that is often used in cribbage is to keep 2 cards that total 11 -- these are called "eleventh cards." If your opponent leads a jack to begin the play phase you would play your 7 to make the count 17 (it's always good to put the count between 16 and 20) then if he plays another tenth card, say a king, and the count becomes 27 then you play your 4 and peg 2 points for 31. Also, I noticed your opponent broke up his strong double run of 5-6-7-7 when he was the dealer, something the dealer would never do in game play.

I think it would be better to throw the 7-4 in your crib because 4 cards give you 9 points (3, 5, 9, Q all of spades) and the point total your most likely to get 8 (The three other 3's, 5's, 9's, and Q's). While throwing the 4-2 combo has the potential to give you the most points if you draw a 9 of any suit (11 points) it is much more likely that you will only score only five points total. So if want to risk it that would be the smart play, but if you want to play it safe throw the 7-4 or even the 7-2 combo.

this is not counting what your opponent throws. Sorry that I didn't mention that.

@@danielburky4855 That would be what I would throw 4-7
