In your scenario, player two gets 2 for 15, player 1 gets 5 for 20, player 2 gets 6 for 27, player 1 gets 6 for 29 & player 2 gets 8 for 30. Hows that ???

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!…

16 pts for player 2 and 11 pts for player 1.

Hold the Chicken Dinner Chef! Are we counting hand pts too?

P1 scored 11 peg pts & 4 hand pts for a total of 15 pts…less a possible suite flush.
P2 scored 16 peg pts & 2 hand pts for a total of 18 pts….less the flush possibility.

Sequence of play (2, 4, 6, 3, 5, 7, 2, 1).

P1 scored all his peg pts on two runs of 5 & 6 cards. 5 pts when the 5/20 was played & 6 pts when the 2/29 was played. P1 also had 4 hand pts. All four cards tallied equal 15 which of course is worth 2 pts in addition to the pair of dueces for 2 pts.

P2 scored 2 pts for hitting 15 when the 3/15 was played, 6 pts for a run of 6 cards when the 7/27 was played, 7 pts for a run of 7 cards when the deuce/30 was played, and 1 pt for last card played. P2 also had 2 hand pts as all four tallied equal 15.

His scenario was pegging runs…. no way to know the hand totals without knowing the card that was up.. BTW I like dark meat….

Big G…you are a MACHINE today!!!! But you are right on!! And yes, PierBridge was implying pegging only…due to your reason explained above!!!!

Ted

ps…do I get Barebackjacks point that he missed? And secondly, did he lose that game as a result of it?

Here’s a new one Big G is not eligible this time!

P.1… 4-6-3-1 .. P.2….. 5-7-1-1.

P. 2 is the dealer and the cut card is a Jack of Diamonds.

P.1 has all diamonds in his hand.

Each player has thrown a pair of kings in the Crib.

What are the combined point totals scored by both players in the hand?

P2 gets 2 for heels for j cut. P1 gets 5 for run of 3 and fifteen. P2 gets 4 for run of 4. P1 gets 5 for run of 5. P1 gets 2 for pair. P2 gets 7 for 3rd ace and go. pegging total
P1 – 12
P2 – 13

Counting…

P1 – 5 for flush. 2 for fifteen two.
total – 7

P2 – fifteen two, pair is four
total – 4

P2 blind – 12

Total…..

P1 = 19

P2 = 29

Only problem with this Pierbridge…P1 would not have thrown the kings in the crib!!

Aren’t you going to toughen these up a little…lol

Actually Ted depending on position of the game there are a couple scenario’s where player 1 may have thrown the Kings in the crib.

37

Nope!

48

First go around, I was thinking 2 of diamonds was cut… let’s try again:

P1: 12 pegging + 2 hand = 14

P2: 2 for the J + 11 pegging + 7 hand + 12 crib = 32

14 + 32 = 46 total points combined

48

50

Now you are just getting tricky with the wording…add up the two and you get………………………………..

48…..

And yes on the kings…maybe a few times, but not the majority!!!! Come on now…

My mistake, counted one to many 15’s. Correct total is 48. Player 1 with 19 and P2 with 29. P2 was not too smart to play a 5 on P1’s 4 not knowing what other cards P1 had, but I like holding the aces to the end.

What does anybody know about this hand ???

29!!

19!!!!!!!!! Such a popular post maybe we should host a cribbage tournament?????????

29 points…best cribbage hand possible.

When I was in college a few of us played cribbage a fair amount, I had the 28 hand 4 times in like 3 weeks. Never saw it before then and haven’t seen it since.

Cribbage tournament sounds like a stellar idea.

I have seen a 29 hand once…. against me On our trips to remote northern Canada…. we about wear out a set of pegs everytime No radio, no TV …. lots of crib

Grew up playing the game against my dad….He flopped a 29 on me one night. Memory serves me correctly, he pegged nearly every card played too! He was always quick to remind me of “the hand” when I got a little cocky with him as the months turned to years in later games…..Been a lotta hands played before/after and I haven’t witnessed another yet. Quit playing the game for the most part in 05′ when he passed.

I’ve played quite a bit of cribbage too and have never had a 29 hand. I had a couple 28 hands in the past. On one of those occassions, I also had a 24 in my crib.

PS. I can still smell the double skunk from that game.

I too have had several 28 hands, but never a 29. Here are the odds for being dealt either against a single opponent:

29 = 1 in 216,580.
28 = 1 in 15,028.

I have never been double skunked…close but they never got me!

I have dealt out a few Double skunkoroo’s tho!……

Holy smokes.. I just checked back on this post & I feel dumber. I thought playing chess calculating moves was taking up brain capacity.. who knew about cribbage !?!?

Does anyone know if RxP, QxR, QxQ, PxP then would it still be mate in 12.

Well it looks like Buckshot and I are in for a tourney, who else?
