And Ed gave me conformation by over-Tichuing on it.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor my last Grand-Tichu call, I waited until Mike picked up his eight cards before calling it.  Luckily, I had the Dog in the last six cards and Mike passed me an Ace.  Unfortunately, Ed gained controlled and played Phoenix-J-10-10 and was left with two cards (little did I know they were Ace 2).  I was worried that they were a pair and Ed would go out.  So, I cratered my hand and played A-A-K-K.  I led singles and Ed kept passing out of fear of my Dragon.  Adam then plays a King on one of my singles and I could not play the Dragon on it (since I still had singles left).  And sadly, I was not able to go out first.\n<\/p>\n<table border='1'>\n<caption style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255)'>\n<em><br \/>\nThe scorecard for a game of Tichu<br \/>\n<br \/>\nGT or T bet <span style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
