Beginner's Ruck

I played cribbage for the first time ever yesterday with Mike. Before that, I had only played it on the pool table. I've always wondered how it was played. Against my wishes at the time, because I really just wanted to play some pool, Mike really wanted to teach me. Well, we didn't do the pegging part, but I actually enjoyed it.

In our first game, I scored a 14 and a 20. I guess that's pretty good since the highest possible score is 29? Here were a couple of my best hands:

  1. 9-9-9-6-6 gives 20, but doesn't 8-8-7-7-6 give 24? (Four runs of 3 is 12, plus 2 pairs makes 16, plus 4 fifteens makes 24.) Both of these are monstrous hands.
