cribbage ending

Hello. Cribbage tournament completed last Friday. It was good. Larry asked me to come over and play some cribbage. Bill was suppose to show up and play also. We were waiting on Bill C. to show up so we decided to play a game. Larry started out by getting a 20+ lead on me. He held the lead until the last corner. I caught up briefly. Played a couple of hands until the ending went as follows. It was my deal , Larry was in the stink hole and I was 8 holes behind or 9 pegs to win. I started to concede the game and decided to deal, all the while Larry is telling me " you might cut a jack you never know". Larry cuts and I turn over a ...jack. Only 7 pegs to win. Larry leads a 3 and I play a 3 for two points...only 5 pegs to win...Larry plays a 6 for a count of 12 and I play a 6 for a count of 18 and two more points...only 3 pegs to win...Now the count is now is 18. Larry plays a deuce for 20 and I play a deuce for 22 and two more points. We are now both in the stink hole. The count is now 22. I have a 5 and Larry is leading. So if he a 5 or higher in his hand ..he will get the go..for 1 and win. He doesn't...he plays an ace for 23 count..I play the 5 for 28 ...last card....a GO and the win. Yeeha! I had to share..this doesn't happen very often. Thanks craig. Go Greenbay!
