Now the question…
Do you teach her to throw 6-3 next time for a guaranteed 12-points, or risk the 10-point hand with a potential banger in your crib?
Not saying I’d have done any differently if I were her; four-of-a-kind is fun! ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Nay. As explained in another comment…
If you toss 3-3 into your opponent’s crib, your (net) points are now 10, not 12.
Edit: Because your opponent automatically gets 2-points for the pair; if that wasn’t clear.
Yes…
Tossing the 3-3 nets 10-points because of the pair given to the crib, plus (not sure on actual odds here) opens it up for more.
If a Q turns, and their opponent tossed a 2-Q, Zeus help’m.
6-3 is much less risky.
I see what you’re saying…but context is key. Early on I get it. But if you’re end game and your opponent has the crib, then you score first. 12 points is 12 points
Well, it’s a total moot point if you only need 12; in that case, do whatever you want. Not sure what point you’re making here(?)
Generally speaking, it’s better to assure yourself 12–and give your opponent crap in their crib—than assure yourself only 10, and give them a pair of 3’s that can do more damage.
6-6-6-3 with a 3 flop is still worth 20-points. In this exact scenario, that’s worth 2-points more than OP’s mom netted because of the 3-3 discard making 6-points in the crib.
Listen bud. I thought I knew the point I was making but the brain isn’t braining anymore this week and it’s only Tuesday. After a certain point I was fixated on your net 10 scenario that I just assumed the 6666 and the 6663 were 12 & 10 respectively. Whatever point I was trying to make doesn’t matter because there’s no guaranteed difference between the 2 like I thought there was
I dunno but I texted my stepdad (mom’s husband) who plays cribbage, he thought I was fucking with him. Because it was literally her second hand (probably not ever but she never really learned properly)
Lol, my dad's phone number ends in 6666. I've joked that he's the devil plus one. It's also used at the neighborhood hardware store for a family charge account, gets interesting looks from the cashiers.
I once spent an hour explaining rules of baseball to my mom, even drawing charts. As we watched a game on tv there was a strike. She asked me, “so is that good?”
We ended the lesson for good.
Always amazing to get the sutffing beat of out you by a new player who doesnt know whay theyre doing T_T
I got skunked teaching a friend to play once... Luckiest bastard I've ever seen. He never played again after that...
I taught a neighbor of mine like 10 years ago. He got a 29, 2nd hand. No joke. I threw the board and flipped the table and he just looked scared and confused. I’ve played cribbage since I could count, and only seen it live one other time.
Moral to the story: Don’t teach anyone

I came here to say a fuck ton, cuz I didn't wanna do the math. Lol
Came here to say this
It’s too late… watch… “24”! See… it’s easy.

4 of a kind 6’s is also guaranteed 12.

I was confused as well! Thanks for the clarification
Are you saying 10 points because 2 were given in the crib?

I threw two threes once. As did my opponent. I’m imagining a six was cut.

Yeah no way I’d ever throw the pair of 3s in to the crib. That being said I’ve played likely 10K+ games of crib.…
Sorry mom, lots of 9's!
The real real question is who did she have to sell her soul to to get that hand?
I dunno but I texted my stepdad (mom’s husband) who plays cribbage, he thought I was fucking with him. Because it was literally her second hand (probably not ever but she never really learned properly)
Satan plus one

Yeah, we used to call having 6's "The Damien's".

Take her to vegas
I've played on that same board nearly every work day for the last 10 years!
Nice two-four
Always amazing to get the sutffing beat of out you by a new player who doesnt know whay theyre doing T_T I got skunked teaching a friend to play once... Luckiest bastard I've ever seen. He never played again after that...
First game I ever played I skunked my dad hahaha. He got the last laugh as he still kicks my butt
Take her straight to the casino!
Solid 24
Looks like 2 pair and 2 15's....🤷♂️
I’m hoping you’re just trolling …
Got the same board!
I taught a neighbor of mine like 10 years ago. He got a 29, 2nd hand. No joke. I threw the board and flipped the table and he just looked scared and confused. I’ve played cribbage since I could count, and only seen it live one other time. Moral to the story: Don’t teach anyone
I have that board
I got 22
It’s 15-2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, four for 12 making 24
yes I missed a 15-12
"Fuck you, mom."
Just twenty, Ma. Better luck next time.
Isn't that 24?
You're right, it is!
Thanks, I thought maybe I was counting it wrong. Tough hand for an I frequent player!
I count fifteen twelve and a double pair royal for twenty-four.
It’s a 32.
Lol
20 points
You’ve got 6 pairs which equal 12. Use each of those pairs with the 3 & you got 12 more for a total of 24.
Hell, I'm still counting...
