Yeah, it’s the same… Remind me of the deal… It’s a bidding process for suit? Highest gets it but the dealer can equal highest bid and take it?

But I just really wanted it in print… I’ll use the google machine.

Stay out of the black and into the red, nothing in this game for two in a bed

I cant believe the price of vinyl lps. 30 yoyos. I would have thought they’d be around the 50 mark at least

Deal it out whatever you want as long as everyone gets 5 cards and a 5 card dummy hand in the middle. Just don’t deal them singly or you’ll be called a tinker.

Bidding starts from the left of the dealer.
Minimum bid is 15 ( 2 tricks with the best trump or 3 without). Following bidders can only raise in increments of 5. The exception is the dealer who can opt to hold any bid into him. The original bidder will then have the option to raise it if he wants. If there are no bids the dealer has to take it. The winning bidder calls the suit and gets the dummy hand. He then picks his best 5 cards from those 10. Everyone else can buy a maximum of 3.

Play then starts with normal 45 play from the left of the dealer.

There are also local variations:

The double value of the best trump can be lost at either 85 or 90

In some schools, one must go out on a call. ie, one cannot sneak out on 100 or 105

Failure to make a bidded call results in the player being deducted the amount of the bid and, in some cases, being required to “grease the pot”, usually by the amount of the original stake.

The “bell” may also be called. This is where the bidder reckons he will win all 5 tricks. The bidder has the option of not taking the dummy hand and playing the cards as dealt. This also rules out the buying of cards. When “bell” is bid, the bidder may have the option of leading off (obviously with the 5) or having the fall come into them.

All the other stuff I’ve played but I never heard of this.

[Elvis_Brandenberg_Kr]

It’s rare enough, but I’ve played it in a few Limerick venues. You’d want a monster of a hand to chance it, and you’d have to lead out, but I’ve seen it done.

Going out on a call leads to epic games but sometimes it just goes on way too long.

[Elvis_Brandenberg_Kr]

True, but it can make for a fine final pot if the call is forced into you and you’ve a shite hand.

Had 3 travellers at my table. One of them would slow count the pot and leave it short the whole time. In fairness the local drug dealer pulled him up on it most of the time.

Your own terminology “fairly eclectic bunch” is actually superbly used in this context. My buddy Scalder Scollan would have been risking a hoor of a trimming had he been involved.

His "Your father… " might have induced a crisp left hook. Kudos…

[Julio_Geordio]

You forgot it’s compulsory for everyone to roar when the fella that called has a good card bate

A call for the table

We’ve played where the dealer doesnt have to take it once they’ve lost best Trump

We’d call that getting “ringed” and it’s part of every game as you’d have no disincentive to call otherwise.

Also if no one calls the dealer has to take 15 but can look at both hands before deciding a suit

That makes it a bit easy, though, doesn’t it?

I used to play with a fella who was hoor for getting a 5 or Ace of Hearts into the top 2 or 3 cards after he shuffled prior to his deal. If the previous dealer declined to cut he’d deal those cards into the dummy hand first, knowing he had a chance of an out if it was left into him.

Sound… I just wanted it right before I learn em.
