Moojus' Cribbage Hint #2

Today’s Tip:[br]
< marquee> Watch Out for Runs During Play!!!< /marquee> [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]
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]
Note: P-pone; D-Dealer, [..]-points scored[br]
(P)–4;
(D)–9 making the score 13;
(P)-10 making the score (23);
(D)-8 making the score (31) [5 points for the (D)]
The Pone had better cards to play. Free Points for your opponent is what happens when you are not paying attention.
This example was NOT a trap, that is, the only possible play.
I hope that some of you are able to use my hints.
Happy Pegs,
Bob ‘Moojus’ Milk

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
