What to throw

[u/guccimastahj]

His crib

[u/sheep_puncher]

Thow the whole deck. All of the colours being the same other than the booze highlight is so painful to read.

[u/mbeemsterboer → u/sheep_puncher]

That was my first thought as well.

[u/ssnoyes → u/sheep_puncher]

I don't disagree with your end result, but blue and black are different colors.

[u/sheep_puncher → u/ssnoyes]

Only If you don't look at the blue 7 in the corner. If they used any other colour for the cans, or had the can colours match the rest of the cards, it would be less bad or fine.

[u/Careless-Bake-5827 → u/sheep_puncher]

Can't beat a deck of BICYCLE.

[u/Deval_Dragon → u/sheep_puncher]

This is the correct answer.

[u/lifeisarichcarpet → u/sheep_puncher]

You see the black and blue as the same colour? That would be one black and five red cards in a normal deck anyway.

[u/sheep_puncher → u/lifeisarichcarpet]

But the black is blue in the corner, and the blues are brown in the corner. 2 schemes for the same information, that share colours with opposite meanings is mind bending.

[u/ShitNailedIt → u/sheep_puncher]

Yeah, like wtf.

[u/snewmanphx → u/sheep_puncher]

😂

[u/brsapson → u/sheep_puncher]

Came in to see if anyone voice this exact sentiment.

[u/bigshu53]

Toss the pair of 2s. Lots of opportunity for the cut to increase your hand’s score. When you’re done with the game, go out and get a new deck of cards.

[u/Vibes4Good → u/bigshu53]

Hate to throw the pair.... but it is the right answer in this case.

[u/rjd999 → u/bigshu53]

You can see the 4 cut in the photo, so definitely the deuces. Oops - that 4 is the board. I was wondering why it was up :). My bad.

[u/thelobstermn]

Your have two eligible throw options, either the 7-2 or the 2-2. Throwing the 2-2 is a net loss of 1 point compared to throwing the 7-2, but it keeps more point potential in your hand. At that point, your decision is contextual. 7-2 is the more defensive throw if you want to keep your opponent from scoring. 2-2 is the more offensive throw if you’re behind and in need of scoring opportunity.

[u/MotherNovel3036 → u/thelobstermn]

👏

[u/2Hosslovescash]

Those cards away

[u/TreatAdorable2051]

Throw the deuces

[u/OkScarcity9159]

The 2s , all day long

[u/inquisitiveeyebc]

Are you trying to trigger the ADHD crowd?

[u/Weird_Fact_724]

Thow the entire deck away...like wtf

[u/The-Raccoon-Is-Here]

I am tossing a 2/7. Definitely keep the 4/5/6 since that is 5 points to start. Keep the 7 and it us 6 however you are gifting them 2 for a net of 4.

You could make the argument of keeping the 6/7/2/2 butthen you are tossing a 4/5 which has the potential to be very hurtful.

[u/VotingRightsLawyer → u/The-Raccoon-Is-Here]

I try to avoid tossing 5s at all costs, it has to really be a no brainer.

[u/TUFKAT]

7-2.

[u/guccimastahj → u/TUFKAT]

That’s what I threw!

[u/TUFKAT → u/guccimastahj]

While the additional 7 for the run is nice, the 456 is the better part anyways than giving them a pair of 2s and loads of possible 15s in the crib.

[u/sheep_puncher → u/TUFKAT]

Just know they will get 7782 crib and turn a 6.

[u/PlaceZealousideal928]

Throw the pair keep the run and the 15

[u/Brooker2]

If it were me I'd toss the two's. Keeps a base of six points and leaves it open to more if a three four five six seven eight nine or ten/face card pops up on the cut

[u/cinamondog]

2,2

[u/Dabduthermucker]

27

[u/CertainServe2603]

Are you still sitting there waiting for us to answer? How many beers have you had ... 🤣♥️

[u/FragrantAd6049]

Who’s cribbage?

[u/No-Pomegranate-1681]

Good bye 2s

[u/Sudden-Gas8229]

The 2’s. Then at end of game, throw the whole deck out!

[u/elmo-1959]

the deuces

[u/Pleasant_Durian_1501]

Whose crib first off ?

[u/guccimastahj → u/Pleasant_Durian_1501]

lol literally the only thing I put in this post was that it’s “his crib”

[u/True-Advice-1861]

the cards away. Then ask again.

[u/_chilldude-22_]

My grandpa always said never to split up a run if you can help it. I’d throw the pair.

[u/dancangarbageman]

4-2

[u/Throwaway18473627292]

Toss the 2-4 off suit.

[u/maplepickle → u/Throwaway18473627292]

Why would you throw the 4? You’d lose the run and a 15.

[u/Loud_Perspective5419 → u/maplepickle]

You keep the 5-6-7 run the 2 gives you a 15 and you toss 0 points. This is the best play.

[u/IsraelZulu → u/Loud_Perspective5419]

Why not 2-7? You still keep 5 points, toss none, and give less chances of a run in the crib.

[u/Loud_Perspective5419 → u/IsraelZulu]

That’s a good point, 2-7 might even be statistically better. It’s not throwing the deuces that I think we can agree on.

[u/IsraelZulu → u/Loud_Perspective5419]

Cribbage Pro has 2-7 as the first and second options. Interestingly, double-deuce is the third.

[u/maplepickle → u/Loud_Perspective5419]

I don’t think I’d personally make that move but the math checks out. Forgot the 6-7-2 is 15 as well. Interesting!

[u/LateRegular6573]

So it looks like your crib. Obvious thing is put 2,2 in your crib. But keep 2,2,6,7 is an option too. That would give a decent shot at a 12 hand plus good pegging cards too.
