My Tichu call was risky and fortunately for me my partner, Ed, was able to go over Adam’s plays twice to help me out. That really turned the tide for us and the next hand was a repeat Tichu/12. Adam’s desperation GrandTichu call looked risky from the start. I had two Aces and my partner passes me the Dragon. I was down to three cards (AJJ), the Phoenix and Dragon had been played, and a single was lead. I played my Ace knowing that was good. Unfortunately, Dan bombed me. Adam got back control but was forced to dog Dan. Unfortunately for Adam, Dan had three Kings which were all good.
