do you use the cards from your first hand and shuffle them in for the second or do you discard those 12 cards and not use them

Hi. I'm not a cribbage player, just checking to see how it's played. I think Shushus is correct, because 3 cards of the same rank form into 3 pairs. AH-AD-AC can be formed into AH-AD, AH-AC, and AD-AC, 3 pairs, @ 2 points each = 6 points. 4 of the same rank can be formed into 6 combinations: AH-AD-AC-AS can be formed as AH-AD, AH-AC, AH-AS, AD-AC, AD-AS, and AC-AS. At 2 points each, that makes 12 points.

Sorry Shushus - 3 of a kind DOES NOT mean 3 different pairs... it means 3 of one number e.g. AH-AD-AS or 8D-8C-8H., this is called a royal pair. This is much more difficult to get than a simple pair so it is worth 6 points. Similarly, 4 of a kind - called a double royal pair - is so hard to get that it is worth 12 points. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get 3 different pairs in one hand because you can only score from your 4 cards plus the turn-up. the crib counts as a SEPARATE hand. -Rhiannon

Also, when playing cards and a run (i.e 6,7,8) is created move you peg the number of cards for the run. 3 holes for a three card run, 4 for a four card run, etc.

When the other person lays down a card and you lay down the same card, move your peg 2 spaces.

Move your peg forward two holes if you matched the other player's card such as one player put down a Jack, then you played a Jack. Also if the first player put down any card and you put down a card to equal 15, you would move your peg forward two.

1. Face cards count as ten points, all others count their actual value 2. The following combinations count for points during play of hand(s): When cumulative total of cards played is 15 = 2 points. 2 matching cards played in sequence = 2 points. 3 of a kind = 6 points. 3 cards in sequence (don't have to be same suit) = 3 points. 4 cards in sequence = 4 points. As already mentioned; 1 point for last play closest to 31 total points (without going over) and 2 points if able to play a card that brings play total to exactly 31. If players still have cards to play, start another play until all cards are used. Special counts in the hand after play: 3 cards in sequence + a pair = 8 points. Additional points can be scored, depending on the cards in the doubled run. Example: 4,5,5,6. There would be 8 points (as above) plus 4 points for 2 sets of cards totaling to 15. A pair scores 2 points. 3 of a kind is 3 points. To achieve a good score try to save any of the following: Combinations that add to 15. 2 or 3 of a kind. Runs of 3 or 4. 3 card run, with one value doubled. Aces can be useful in play - to score the 31 point.

When you are deciding which cards to choose for your hand, if it's your crib - make sure you put cards in that will give you points (such as a pair, or 7 and 8). It's also a good idea to keep a card that you can "peg" with in your hand (an ace or a two). When you are leading the count, try not to lead with a 10 or a 5. When someone reaches 15, they get 2 points, and there is a good chance they will have one of those two cards.
