Lunch Time Tichuers 06/15/2006

Adam's first GrandTichu call was apparently close. Mike had played a King on one of Adam's singles. And apparently if it had been lower, Adam would have made it. Oh well.

Ed's Tichu call was amusing. He leads a length 7 straight (with no wish) and calls Tichu. Adam then plays his length 7 straight. Mike then plays his length 7 straight. I felt like Mike had the Dog here. I look at my hand. It is a Ace-high, length thirteen straight. After checking the played cards for bomb potentials, I split my straight into two and called Tichu. Apparently, Ed should have led his straight last (which is what Mike did in another hand).

For our one-two, I did not call Tichu like I normally would. I was so burned by my string of bad luck recently, that I didn't want to take a remote chance of being set.

In Mike's first GrandTichu call, he was set by Adam. Who's highest card in his hand was a 10.
