The
highest
number
that
can
be
counted
from
five
cards
is
29--made
from
four
fives
and
a
knave;
that
is,
three
fives
and
a
knave
of
the
suit
turned
up,
and
a
five
on
the
pack--for
the
combinations
of
the
four
fives,
16;
for
the
double
pair-royal,
12;
his
nob,
1-29.

Maxims
for
laying
out
the
Crib
Cards.
In
laying
out
cards
for
the
crib,
the
player
should
consider
not
only
his
own
hand,
but
also
to
whom
the
crib
belongs,
as
well
as
the
state
of
the
game;
for
what
might
be
right
in
one
situation
would
be
wrong
in
another.
Possessing
a
pair-royal,
it
is
generally
advisable
to
lay
out
the
other
cards
for
crib,
unless
it
belongs
to
the
adversary.
Avoid
giving
him
two
fives,
a
deuce
and
a
trois,
five
and
six,
seven
and
eight,
five
and
any
other
tenth
card.
When
he
does
not
thereby
materially
injure
his
hand,
the
player
should
for
his
own
crib
lay
out
close
cards,
in
hope
of
making
a
sequence;
or
two
of
a
suit,
in
expectation
of
a
flush;
or
cards
that
of
themselves
reckoned
with
others
will
count
fifteen.
When
the
antagonist
be
nearly
up,
and
it
may
be
expedient
to
keep
such
cards
as
may
prevent
him
from
gaining
at
play.
The
rule
is
to
baulk
your
adversary's
crib
by
laying
out
cards
not
likely
to
prove
of
advantage
to
him,
and
to
lay
out
favourably
for
your
own
crib.
This
applies
to
a
stage
of
the
game
when
it
may
be
of
consequence
to
keep
in
hand
cards
likely
to
tell
in
play,
or
when
the
non-dealer
would
be
either
out
by
his
hand,
or
has
reason
for
thinking
the
crib
of
little
moment.
A
king
and
a
nine
is
the
best
baulk,
as
none
can
form
a
sequence
beyond
it;
king
or
queen,
with
an
ace,
six,
seven,
eight,
or
nine,
are
good
ones
to
put
out.
Low
cards
are
generally
the
most
likely
to
gain
at
play;
the
flushes
and
sequences,
particularly
if
the
latter
be
aiso
flushes,
are
eligible
hands,
as
thereby
the
player
will
often
be
enabled
either
to
assist
his
own
crib,
or
baulk
that
of
the
opponent;
a
knave
should
never
be
put
out
for
his
crib,
if
it
can
be
retained
in
hand.
