Looking for lowball or giveaway tips. We tried it and kept accidentally scoring 15s.

Avoid 5s like they are poison. Toss them even to the opponent crib.

Lead high cards in pegging to reduce run chances.

Pairing is the worst. If you can avoid pairing during pegging, do it.

Try to build hands with gaps. 2-4-6-8 is ugly and good for lowball.

We play to 60. Once you are near 60, keep all points out of your hand and feed the opponent crib.

We let the dealer pick if they want the crib. Sometimes you refuse it.

Say your count aloud in pegging. It helps avoid accidental 31s.

Good advice. We keep drifting into normal cribbage habits.

One more: avoid suited 4 card hands. Flushes are sneaky points in lowball.
