Scoring

The starter

The player on the dealer's left cuts the undealt portion of the deck (leaving at least 4 cards), and the dealer reveals the top card, called the 'starter' or the 'cut', placing it on top of the deck face up. (It is illegal to peek at any other cards in the deck during this process.) If this card is a Jack, the dealer scores two points for 'his heels', also known as 'his nibs', or simply 'nibs'. The game can end on a cut of a Jack for the dealer.

The play (Pegging)

In addition to scoring one or two points for the last card, players score points according to the following rules:

• fifteen-twos
  • two points for a cumulative total of exactly fifteen ('fifteen two')
• runs
  • three points for completing a run of three cards, regardless of the order in which they are laid (a 6, then a 4, then a 5 is a run of three even though they were not laid in order)
  • four points for completing a run of four
  • five points for completing a run of five
  • six points for completing a run of six
  • seven points for completing the run of seven; e.g. playing 2, 4, 6, A, 3, 5 and 7
• pairs
  • two points for laying a card of the same rank as the previous card, thus completing a pair
  • six points for laying a third card of the same rank (a 'pair royal' or 'trips')
  • twelve points for laying a fourth card of the same rank (a 'double pair royal' or 'quad')

The show

Once the play is complete, each player in turn receives points based on the content of their hand. Starting with the player on the dealer's left, players spread out their cards on the playing surface and calculate their score based on these four cards and the starter card:

• fifteen-twos
  • two points for each separate combination of two or more cards totalling exactly fifteen
• runs
  • three points for a run of three consecutive cards (regardless of suit)
  • four points for completing a run of four
  • five points for completing a run of five
• pairs
  • two points for a pair of cards of a kind
  • six points for three cards of a kind (known as a 'pair royal', comprising three distinct pairs)
  • twelve points for four cards of a kind (a 'double pair royal', comprising six distinct pairs)
• flush
  • four points for a flush, where all four cards in the hand are of the same suit, with an additional point if the starter card is also of that suit.
  • one point for holding the Jack of the same suit as the starter card ('one for his nob' or '... his nobs' )
  • unlike the dealer's own hand, the crib cannot score a four-card flush, but it can score a five-card flush with the starter.

Questions

What is the highest possible scoring hand?

The Jack's suit matches the starter card awarding 'his nobs' for 1 point. This creates a total of 29 points and the best hand possbile in Cribbage. The odd of getting this hand is 1:216,580!

For all three difficulty levels the cards are dealt completely at random to both you and to the computer. The difference between the easy, standard and pro levels is the strategy used to choose the computer's discards and pegging plays. If you are finding that your computer opponent is beating you, you will likely benefit from understanding how the computer chooses its next move.

Cribbage Jd Cheats

Discarding:	Chooses a random pair of cards.
Pegging:	Chooses a random valid card.

Discarding:	Chooses the pair of cards that will result in the best hand score ignoring the possible flip card. If the discards are a pair or sum to 15, it adjusts the analyzed hand value by 2 (plus or minus depending on the crib owner.) Notice that this strategy does not account for flushes or possible runs that could result from the flip card.
Pegging:	Chooses the next card that will result in the highest score for itself. If all plays are of equal value then it chooses at random.

Discarding:	Evaluates the score for each pair of discards for all possible flip cards still left in the deck. Then takes the play that averages the highest outcome. For the cards in the crib, evaluates their value as well with each possible flip card and adds or subtracts depending on who will count the crib. Note that the potential from the two additional crib cards are not included in the crib analysis.
Pegging:	Chooses the next card that will result in the highest score for itself. It also prefers not to leave the pegging count at 5 or 21. If all plays are of equal value then it chooses at random.
