Well, today we had five people up for the game. Dan discussed a method where some one sits out each hand and the partners rotate in all of the possible combinations. Each person would be scored individually. It sounded interesting and I would be up for it some time. However we decided to cut cards for who would be in and the low person would be out. Fortunately, luck was with me and I was in!

I made a couple of mistakes in this game. And I feel bad about it. I can be so hard on myself sometimes. On the first hand, I had missed the fact that the Phoenix had been played. I could have gone out for a one/two. And then when I called Tichu, I was down to three cards (King, King, Two). Since the Phoenix had been played I was hoping that there were not a pair of Aces out there. I should have instead played the Two and then either play Kings on a pair or split the Kings on singles.
