Cribbage Discards 2nd Edition

Winning at the game of cribbage - is it skill, or is it luck? In cribbage, the statistical advantage goes to the player who understands and applies sound strategy, and the first opportunity to apply strategy - before any cards are played out - is at the discard. At 400 pages, this book contains a complete list of every possible six-card Cribbage hand. Inside are 18,395 six-card hands, spanning the entire range of hands from A-A-A-A-2-2 to Q-Q-K-K-K-K (and presented in order for ease of look-up), with the mathematically best discard option, for both dealer and opponent, included for each. Holding 6-6-7-8-9-9 and unsure which cards to toss to your opponent's crib? Look up this hand (pg. 338, hand #16890), or any other hand, and quickly discover which two cards represent the best toss. Keep this book next to the Cribbage board to help remove the guesswork and make an in-game choice easier, use it as a learning tool, or as a fun guide to see how your discarding instincts align with the math.
