Newer players at my table keep feeding my crib. What are the big no-nos you never throw away to the dealer?

Never toss 5s or 5 + 10 combos. Those are instant 2 points and often more. Pairs and connected cards also build big cribs.

If you can, throw garbage like K-9 or Q-9 that dont help runs or 15s.

Suited connectors are sneaky too. 6-7 of the same suit can be a 4 card run with a lucky cut.

Also avoid throwing two low cards in sequence. Even 2-3 can explode with a 4 cut.
