Agreed. I was just saying you would be surprised what you can rub out if the paint isn't actually scratched deep into it.

That's Jared Fogel. Not a great pic of him, but surprisingly I couldn't find many of him actually consuming some of that Subway "food".
I haven't played cribbage in ages. Used to love to play it.
"nearly" being the operative wordSo, Gr8 - what's so funny about this? You're nearly as old as we (Boxster & I) are!
Confession - I was reading all that as IV in Roman numerals instead of IV as in intravenous so needless to say I was confused with what the heck a 4 antibiotic was.
Not unless he forgot to invite us all to the wedding...
Isn't that Jared in that picture? I think I'd lead with "Hey, I'm not a pedophile" before I'd be concerned about your marital status and eyesight.
So did PapaLew.
Fun fact - when you teach someone how to play cribbage, you also tend to teach them your strategy. We're very comparable in playing skills...once I finally convinced him that the odds on drawing the middle card in a straight are not good. Shouldn't have done that...I'd still be kicking his butt every game if I had left it alone...
It was kind of a funky picture so I wasn't really sure it was Jared. And the ring kind of stood out to me (although it apparently didn't mean a whole lot to him...).
Ah, more convenient than anything. Have to sit around and wait for Roto-rooter for hours and miss happy hour with the boys. The backup is limited to the corner of the laundry room which is all concrete. The bad thing is the main cleanup at the front is in the old man cave with wood floors. Better get out some tarps because plumbers are pigs.
That is just understanding odds and the risk reward. I used to be overly concerned about what I was throwing in an opponent's crib but I have gotten a lot less hung up on this. What is in my hand comes first and throwing a couple points in a crib comes up really only if it is a tie breaker between like hand combinations. I still find myself counting point differentials at times (6 for me and 2 for them = 4) but I remind myself to remember that the chances of a better hand with a likely cut are more impactful to the game.So did PapaLew.

Awwwww. I just got an E-mail from my daughter's teacher:

I always hated having to break up my hand in order to not throw something too good into the crib. I have had two 28 point hands in my cribbage life. Never was able to get that 29th point.
Yeah, I was too"nearly" being the operative word

There is just soooo much that has to fall into place like the one missing 5 matching your jack's suit and then cutting the only card that can make your hand. The odds have to be astronomical. The odds in cutting the right card after the deal setting you up is one in 46 or 47 alone. I've never gotten a 28 hand but I have probably played much less than you have.
No I was with my FIL who doesn't drink and it was just a quick trip between Osh and Alexandria, MN.
The odds of getting the perfect hand are somewhere around 200K if I remember correctly. I've never gotten it. I'm pretty good at getting high teens or low 20s, but not that elusive perfect hand. I only remember having the 28 once or twice. I've been playing since college; my boyfriend taught me.
