| duke62 | I tossed the double nickels. Cut was a 5. They had 14 in the crib. If I tossed A-2, they have a 4 crib - 16 point swing! Lost the game. |

Nice puzzzle duke-I’m going with the 24 cuts to get us to 14 ( plus the four nines that get us to 12)- the dealer is 37 out so the 55 discard is somewhat palatable given our respective positions Eolus619 says: Morning rob ( or as some say now ..just rob) ..as to your ACC Facebook question about your nephews hand and discard verse your pick ..JQT would say 6/7 is one of his “three” discard cousins ..so it seems to me he would favor your choice |

The par cycle is not favoring us so trying to get near or over that 95 mark. It matters more what we get here. dec |

Loser cut today, I'll lead the 3.
Cribbage Pro Daily Scrimmage Another Loser. Score 110-121 LOSS Differential Discard 4. 2-4 I know I normally put the score with the discard, but for the purposes of not spoiling today's game I will refrain. PS ... If anyone ever feels I am spoiling the game, please say so, I will adjust accordingly. Eolus619 says: morning tevdood…i see the current leader ..all players 1st attempt … discard on hand six averages four points lower than the 100 rated discard and then his/her hand #6 was able to out peg on Brutal’s hand and cumulatively out peg Brutal 41-17.for the entire game ..current .#1 hand score rated 96 mine 97 and i out pegged Brutal only 17-16…still not sure what the lesson is today or in general on daily scrimmage ..will study yours and others to see what i might learn ..all the best Eolus619 says: sorry it’s tevdodd not tevdood fentesk says: I would suggest there isn't really a lesson to Scrimmage as there may be on this site. A way to consider viewing it: on HotD we typically aim to find the best solution without knowledge of opponent's cards or the cut. On Daily Scrimmage the aim is to find the best solution after knowing opponent's cards and the cut. These are wildly different goals, to the point that while they share the same ruleset they are different games. Eolus619 says: thanks fentesk…with that explanation …since in a regular game
players never get to see the opponent or starter card(s) in advance i will reevaluate as to if it is worth my time to play tevdodd says: fentesk, can you walk me through your Hand 7 discard? Or did you have knowledge prior to playing? fentesk says: That's a hand I'd play differently if given it on different days. My recollection is I didn't like the position for a defensive discard and the game was giving good cuts, so I decided to keep the pair and connectors since I didn't see that hand doing much otherwise. I knew it wasn't an "optimal" choice at the time, but figured it was playing out like a Scrimmage game where you get up early and they get huge hands late, so I played for hand average. I mainly spent time thinking I'd rather keep the 10-J than the 2-4. If it weren't Scrimmage I don't know that I'd do it, but after staring at it a while decided the hand score was going to be bad regardless so tried to hit a cut. When I saw the hand score and put it in C. Liam's site it was a worse choice than I thought at the time. tevdodd says: Thanks for the response fentesk. |

Game’s too close and risk of 55 toss too big. So just trying to keep it close. Looks like only a 6 or 9 cut doesn’t help of course we get one of those, but doesn’t really favor crib either. Hopefully can do some pegging and stay in range coming down 4th street. |

Going aggressive here and look to get into position on 4th street. |

Need to get to Hole 95/96. If opponent gets to 110 here so be it, but our odds to win if we only get to 90 would be bleak anyhow. |

Trying to hold on to the 55 here reduces too much. If we want to get in position for the next deal holding the double run is the most feasible way to get there. If dealer has a monster crib and gets within striking range fine, but I want to give myself a chance here. |

Lots of cuts for 8+, but 6d isn't one.

A shame, as I reckon I might've had enough myself. Eolus619 says: hello James500..it seems to me that the way ( often) to beat the app is to make a low rated discards ( often rated in the 80s ) and then be able out peg the app cumulatively for the hand & game ..still trying to determine the daily scrimmage lesson ..all the best |

At -4 to Dealer's +14 I kept it this way. Loser cut. I will lead the 2d and continue on Offense. |

We’re both out of position, but gotta focus on my position first because it’s the easier of the two to control. 6 is such a lame cut. Leading 3. If they pair it I will follow with 2. Knowing what heights their crib could reach with 5-5-6 it’s time for some desperation plays.

This game is still close enough and far enough from the end not that I won't take a chance by throwing (5 5) to the opposition's crib. Sure, I could hit a lucky cut for 16 and then be in decent shape if I give up a big crib, but that's a very big IF. (2 3 5 5) still gives solid opportunities for improvement and pegging, with a much better safety net. Would rather fight to the end than panic now. MiketheExpert says: Any face card gives you 14, but with an X-5-5-?-? in opponent's crib. I could see why it may be feasible to want to take your chances here to get to the next par marker. But for me, it is too much risk. MiketheExpert says: I think I would likely take the chance if I were not already playing from a trailing position.... MiketheExpert says: I'm leading the deuce after the lousy 6 cut. The only way now is to try and minimize dealer's score as much as possible on the pegs, and hope that he also has a lousy crib score. |

I went the triple nickle route, even though A/2 scares me. I need to think more like the big boys, and Kendra. |

At 82-84* playing an Offense strategy for the pegging the dynamic expected averages and Win/Loss %s are:
_______________Our Offense___Hand_Pegs_Crib____Total___W2 %___W3 % 2-3-5-5____8.54+1.93+(-4.18)=6.29____3.3____37.2 2-2-5-5____7.26+1.43+(-4.10)=4.59____1.5____26.0 A-2-2-3___12.30+1.65+(-9.70)=4.25____8.3____43.9 Offense______L2 %___L3 % 2-3-5-5_______4.6____38.4 2-2-5-5_______4.3____45.8 A-2-2-3______18.2____43.6 2-3-5-5 is best for expected averages by 1.70pts. and although A--2-2-3 is very much best for Win %s it is also very high for Loss %s because of the 5-5. 2-3-5-5 is second best for Win %s and lowest for Loss %s. So I'll select an A-2 to discard. After the 6 cut I'll lead a 5 and play Offense: Lead____________Our Pegging Points 5______________________2.04 3______________________1.91 2______________________1.90 |
