Ms. Sweety
visited John "Rotten" Reed in Game 8 and helped pull out the win over
Pat "Driller" Jungmann. Helen "The Hellion" Daniels didn't let
John enjoy Ms. Sweety too long, she declared 24 later in Game 8 and pulled off
the victory over John "Saweet" Hensley. "Trooper" Tom Varnell
got in on the action and held onto a 24 in Game 9. Ms. Sweety helped him
edge out Dick "The Grumbler" Taylor. Dick had the last laugh
though, he counted a 24 against Tom to get Ms. Sweety on his side of the table!
Dick took home $14 for his skill cards!
EVENT HAPPENINGS
First was Shirley "Buzz Saw" Guest who turned
in a 14 Gm Pt, 7 W, +36 Sprd Pts card tonight. Shirley started on the wrong
foot by losing the first game of the night to John "Rotten" Reed by 3
points! She decided that was not the way to start and quickly turned
things around by winning three straight. She then lost Game 5 to
"Trooper" Tom Varnell. She turned on the after burners and won the
last 4 games of the night including a 1 point win over "Easy" Ed Baustian.
Good job Shirley!
Second was Pat "Driller"
Jungmann who turned in a 14 Gm Pt, 6 W, +72 Sprd Pts card.
Pat is on a roll, he has been in the top payout positions for the last three
week! He started with a quick win over Martin "Ole #1" Hellberg and
followed that up with a skunk over "Easy" Ed Baustian. He got
skunked his next game but turned things around to skunk Dewayne "Big E"
Eisenbarth. Pat went on to win two additional games in a row but his
streak ended at three against Shirley "Buzz Saw" Guest in Game 7.
He hit a bump in the road his next game also and recorded a loss. He won
the last game of the night to slip into 2nd Place. Good job Pat!
Third was Jim "Teacher" Duff who turned in a 13 Gm Pt, 6 W, +71 Sprd Pts card. Jim was back in good form tonight. He got out
of the box by skunking his first opponent David "Da Boz" Bosley. He
also recorded a win in Game 2 but came up short against "Trooper" Tom Varnell
in Game 3. Jim had an up and down night after that....he would win one
and lose one for the rest of the night. When the smoke cleared, he had a
13 point card that was good enough for 3rd. Good job Jim!
Fourth was
"Trooper" Tom Varnell who turned in a 12 Gm Pt, 6 W, 40 Sprd Pts card. Tom started with a win over good friend (but not
while playing cribbage) Wayne "Super Trooper" Von Clasen. He let
his guard down and Dewayne "Big E" Eisenbarth sped past him giving Tom
his first loss. Tom put together a mini-win streak with 3 straight before
running into John "Rotten" Reed who lived up to his name and gave Tom his
second loss of the night. Tom won 2 of 3 to end the night and then held on
to see if his 12 point card was better than the other four 12 point cards.
It was and Tom went home with cool $15 at the end of the night. Good job
Tom!

CRIBBAGE QUIZ
You are the dealer, which cards is appropriate to play after the non-dealers 1st card?
- Situation A: You are at 42, opponent is at 35; your hand: A hearts, 4 spades, J diamonds, Q diamonds, starter = 10 clubs.....non-dealer leads 10 hearts.
- Situation B: You are at 105, opponent is at 103; your hand: A hearts, 2 spades, 3 diamonds, 4 clubs, starter = 8 hearts....non-dealer leads a clubs.
Answers (according to John Chambers):
- Situation A: Play the A hearts, since the non-dealer lead a ten card he could have others. If you make the play eleven the non-dealer may be forced to play another ten card. You will be able to get and easy two or four points.
- Situation B: Play the 4 clubs, you would only play the A hearts if you felt you needed to peg and you could afford to give up six holes. You would only play the 2 or 3 if you needed to peg a number of holes and were willing to give up a possibility of more than six holes to your opponent. By playing the 4 clubs you may be giving up two point initially but if your opponent does take the fifteen, you now have a good chance to play off without giving up too many more points.
