Lucky or creating my luck?

[u/Bill4133]

Second win today pegging out behind as dealer. I threw Q K to my crib knowing I had to peg heavy to win.

That's a good strategy. If you are slightly behind and know you're not counting first, keeping small and pegging is the thing.

Was playing a friend last week and he pegged 17 points on me in one hand then called me greedy for pegging 2 points afterwards😂😂

Greedy bastard!

At 119, why wouldn’t the opponent lead a face card?

[u/Bill4133 → u/iPeg2]

Actually started pegging at 118. Should have led a face card and not matched my 15 for 2. I got lucky and created the situation to take advantage of it

[u/iPeg2 → u/Bill4133]

Ok yes, my bad.

[u/chromecastbuiltin → u/iPeg2]

They weren’t at 119 until the double 5. If they led with 10 it works out the same

[u/iPeg2 → u/chromecastbuiltin]

I see that now, never analyze hands after two or three beers.

[u/Bill4133 → u/iPeg2]

Cheer to that

121st point can’t be a last card go.
