David Vongrad has calculated the total amount of all possible cribbage hands (H) and cribs (C), sorted by the score points.
From his letter: The below table is explained as follows:
A 52 card deck is sorted with the ace to king of hearts first, followed by the ace to king of spades and then the ace to king of diamonds and finally the ace to king of clubs
such that the "lowest" card is the ace of hearts and the "highest" is the king of clubs (I chose this order arbitrarily for the purposes of calculating all possible scores in a computer program).
Then 5 cards are taken at a time, sorted as described above and scored according to cribbage rules.
If the "lowest" card (Card 1) in any given 5 card hand is the cut card, the score is 0 for 196,812 of those hands if that hand is the dealer or pone hand (H) and 0 for 199,452 if the cards represent the crib (C).
Similar numbers are counted if the second "lowest" card (Card 2) is the cut card and so forth.
Thus, the number of points in each of the hand and crib for every 5 card combination is shown below. The total amount of each score for the hand and crib when each of the 5 cards is the cut card is 12994800.
