Today’s Tip:[br]<br><br><b>&lt; marquee&gt; Watch Out for Runs During Play!!!&lt; /marquee&gt; </b>[br]<br><br>You need to pay attention during the play so that you do not let your opponent pick up 3 or more points by playing into a run.[br]<br><br>Frequently, I am able to pick up 3 or more points because my opponent may not be paying attention and makes a play such that I can get a run. This example showed up last week. I was the dealer, the play was as follows: [br] <br><br><i>Note: P-pone; D-Dealer, [..]-points scored</i>[br]<br><br>(P)–4; <br>(D)–9 making the score 13;<br>(P)-10 making the score (23);<br>(D)-8 making the score (31) [5 points for the (D)]<br><br>The Pone had better cards to play. Free Points for your opponent is what happens when you are not paying attention. <br><br>This example was NOT a trap, that is, the only possible play.<br><br>I hope that some of you are able to use my hints.<br><br>Happy Pegs,<br>Bob ‘Moojus’ Milk<br><br>These suggestions for improvement come from many sources, including, but not limited to the following:<br>• “Play Winning Cribbage” by Delynn Colvert (the undisputed top player in North America)<br>• “Cribbage: A New Concept” by John Chambers<br>• The Cribbage Forum web site hosted by Michael Schell<br>• Hints from some of the top American Cribbage Congress Players<br>• My personal experiences<br><br>Disclaimer: I have no vested interest in any of the publications listed.
