Cribbage.......any Experts Out There?

[ToraToraTora]

just been playing cribbage on Naomi's games web site, great site by the way, thanks Naomi. Anyway I had this hand, opposition box, 566778, what would you put in the box? Now normally I would never put a 5 in the opposition box but in this case I put 5+6 in so I could preserve the runs and the 15s and the pair. What would you do?

Same as you did.

Bill cheats.

Sorry, should've included a ;-)

Probably would have done the same, TTT, but i'm certainly no expert. Also it would depend on what stage of the game had been reached. Bet Bill had thrown something in there to go with the 5 and 6:-//

Probably 5+6 but I would have considered 5+7 in the hope of turning up a 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 (and rejected the idea)

you reckon Bill cheats? TBH can't see much evidence but only on my second game now.

[Ken4155]

He just seems to get an awful lot of 'luck' on the turnover, TTT. If he is holding 2 x 4 and 2 x 6, you can bet long odds on that a 5 will be turned:-)

Probably 5 and 7, on the grounds that would be worried about 4,5,6 combos in the box.

ok thanks all, I played a lot a few years ago but I don't ever remember getting that hand.
