Find out how to play the odds if the dealer needs 2 holes, and why you shouldn’t toss cards that total 10 into your crib. Discover the advantage of playing your least useful card early, of expecting your opponent to have a 5, and much more. Since the complex topics have been made accessible to beginners, and the simpler topics are infused with twists to interest experienced players, cribbage enthusiasts of all levels will find strategies to improve their games.

Barlow Does It Again5
Like the same author's other cribbage books, this one is written in a casual, reader-friendly style. The tips range from basic to very advanced, and each is explained with clear examples. It's hard to come up with new material on such a seemingly simple game, but this book has several strategy ideas I haven't seen in other books. And the tips that I'd seen before are expanded with new variations and sample hands. If I had to rank all the cribbage books out there, I'd put this one at the top for players who already know the basics.
