I knew when you bid that the game was over. Haha.

I knew we had to make a splash, but my hand was so putrid I couldn't do a thing.

Well done!!

I really liked my hand and wanted to force you to bid 9.

I got really good cards almost every time, I feel bad that the new players didn't get a chance to lead.

I was going to go No Trump on that hand that get redealt. I had all 4 aces, that's the only way I'd bid no trump without the Joker.

If you only picked up the JOKER and 2 other trumps in the Widow, an 8 Hearts bid was bold, indeed.

Yeah, it was bold. But I had 5 trump (both bowers) and the A Diamonds. That's basically 5 tricks right there. Just needed some help from WK if the widow was bunk.

I had a hand full of clubs, and was going to bid 7 - but that worked out.

redwill · Post by **redwill** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 12:22 pm

On the final hand, I had

J, Q, 8 Spades
Q Clubs
4, 8, 9, K Diamonds
6, 10 Hearts

Blech. Especially with first bid.

Post by **relantel** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 12:26 pm

I wasn't much help:

10, 4 Clubs
A, 8 Hearts
Q, 7, 5 Diamonds
A, 10, 6 Spades

Haha. Worse than mine. Fate was against us. Oh, well.

Troy-WK: 690

Troy Loney · Post by **Troy Loney** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 12:59 pm

If Rylan wants to play a round i'll deal (or play again if someone else would rather deal)

Yeah, it was.

It's even more fun sitting around a table with friends and/or family, with a huge bowl of popcorn and other snacks and maybe a couple of adult beverages.

The women-folk yap about something or other and the men-folk talk about the game.

I really don't mind dealing. I was able to help you guys out even when I didn't have much time. I don't have the time to learn the game right now, but I can squeeze in being the dealer.

if you're still willing to deal, I'll play again. stick with same pairings?

redwill · Post by **redwill** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 2:00 pm

I'm game.

Post by **Willie Kool** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 2:06 pm

I'd step down if someone else wants to play, otherwise I'm in again.

redwill · Post by **redwill** » Wed Sep 04, 2013 10:34 am

Shall we ask Rylan to give us a hand?

Troy Loney · Post by **Troy Loney** » Wed Sep 04, 2013 11:20 am

I'm up for it
