The possibility for 32  is if both players hold 6 6 7 7 and you are the dealer.  First player plays 7, you play 7 for 2, they play 7 for 6, you play 7 for 12 and a go, 15.  Then all the 6s get played for another 15 points.  The extra 2 points being if a jack is flipped.

A go is 3 pts?

And if that Jack is the same suit as the run its the "right" Jack. One pt. Right?

Pegging doesn't count in the highest possible hand. I've had more than 29 with pegging lots of times. Give it up.......lol. A go is one point.

You need 3 5's and a jack that matches the flipped 5's suit. So it total you have 4 5's and a matching suit jack. That is the perfect "29" hand. There are 4 possible ways to achieve this given the 4 different suits.

Thanks. Pegging doesn't count in ANY hand.

Thanks CB. . . What's pegging, I forget.

There are two pegs per person and you always move the back one to show what you just "gained" while playing.
If your opponent plays a six and then you play a nine, it's a fifteen for two points for you. Move your back peg two holes in front of your lead peg.
If they then play another nine, they get two points for the pair and move their back peg two holes ahead of their lead peg.
etc.

Does the person cutting the jack get two points or the person whose hand it is?

The two points for a cut Jack goes to the person who dealt the cards and has the crib hand.

Correct Sue Garn...Dealer gets the two points.

I've never had a hand like this in my life. If only the five of spades had been in my hand and the five of hearts had been turned up...it would have been a perfect 29.

I think I would faint if I got that hand. Been playing since I was 10. Now I am past the 65 mark. Nice!
