The next thing you have to do is calculate the values of hand which you should have before you call say 15 in 110. So say greater than 400 youāve a 70% chance of making 15 
Iād love to tell some old lad that Iād an 82% chance of making 20 after they roar at me for not making a call.
Iām playing 45s on Saturday.
Hit the high man and let the low man pass
Always hit the forty man.
Oh a man on forty needs to be hit with both barrels from the off.
400 would mislead you. e.g. Having a hand of 5s only helps once but would calculate 1200+.
Itād have to be 400 of a single suit. With maybe the AH or joker.
One fundamental problem there. The joker should never be allowed in a game of 45.
Why not? Joker is always in 45 or 110 in Cork anyway.
Best advice to a newcomer to 110 whoās worried about the ire of the old timers is to make sure to poke strong if youāre second in, that will bring a world of shit down on you, and never hold back in the hope of winning a snakey trick at the end. You only learn by playing and being berated.
Oh and 45 is for kids, if you have the time and numbers 110 is far superior.
Joker is not accepted in East Limerick, have only seen it used in Waterford
Alas, I havenāt played 45/110 in years and it doesnāt look on the cards in the near future ā¦ Iāve never played 45 for money - what way does the betting go? Is it just a straight up pot ?
Ya everyone throws in say a fiver and first to three games (or whatever is agreed) takes the pot
Weāll have to get 8 together some night in Limerick.
The TFK G&Tās and 110 jamboree. Weāll all go to @Horseboxās house
Makes sense - just wondered if there was any anti post betting or penalties incurred
Castle-connell is a long way out for a game of cards - but with 8 bedrooms, we could all crash there tho.
I am in
Only above in the Nire. There was an awful row one night between my uncle from the Nire and my father not from the Nire when the uncle produced a joker with a flourish to trump an ace of hearts laid by my father. The row was never settled and we never played cards in my uncles house again.
Different breed up there

The site must be 50% Limerick, how hard would that be to organize?
@Julio_Geordio @TreatyStones will be in Thomond on Stephens day we could line it up for after the match
Great thread. Iv played 110 a bit but donāt ever remember it being that popular. Is it more a pub game or would fellas be playing 110 for the Xmas turkey in the hall ?
