rules of cribbage nf

[daysoff]

recently after over fourty years of playing crib I was dealt a 29 hand but could not count it because I counted last and the other team pegged out before me.do I still have bragging rights of saying I had a 29 hand?

You still have bragging rights but you lost.

[DOS]

never happened, didn't count. man that sucks. Thats worse than a lone hand in red and your partner makes it black in euchre...

[bushart]

40 years at that game and I never had a 29

[Garnet]

Well you were dealt a 29 now you just need to play a 29.

[DRIFTER_016]

I've been lucky enough to play out two or three 29 hands over the years.

And you may have had a 29 hand but you didn't get to play it so..................................................

[Fisherman]

That's like catching a record fish 1 minute after midnight on closing day, nah, don't count.

Ya still have your health

[Big Cliff]

Dream on.....

And now to REALLY confuse the issue:

You're question contained the answer - you were DEALT a 29 but could not PLAY it as the opponent pegged out. You HAD a 29 hand but it was not SCORED as the game was over.

Sorta like the song says - kinda like winning the lottery & dying the next day...

But at the very least you proved that you know HOW to count a 29 hand, if only I had a nickel for every self professed crib expert who tried to peg 19...
