Here I go over 5 great tips to improve from a beginner to intermediate in cribbage.

1) Avoid playing 5,10,21, and 26

2) Be careful what cards you throw into your opponents crib

3) Play A-4 before 5-K

4) AVOID DOUBLE WHAMMIES!!!

5) Be cautious when pairing your opponent

Interesting video. 5:08 How would one know NOT to throw down the 2nd 4 on the chance that your opp has the 3rd 4? You'd be giving up 2 points if you don't play a 4, and it's on nothing but a hunch. I tend to think you should take the points unless there's at least some evidence they might be holding two 4's. Or if they only need 6 points to hit 121 points and you want to play defense.

I threw a 5 and jack into my opponent's crib and by the end of the game a picture a skunk was shown

5's an asset but also a liability.
