I started off with a risky Tichu.  On the next hand, Traci calls Tichu (you see her hand above) and then passes.  Which is not usually done except when signaling your partner to not make a Tichu call or a random wish.  John then over-Tichues and eventually goes out first.  His play of trips was key since Traci did not want to get rid of her only three Aces.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOn the last hand, I have AAAAKJ00765xx and I call Tichu before the pass.  My partner passes me a King.  Which is good.  I like using these as singles since people will not usually play a Dragon or Phoenix on top of them.  I split up my Aces during a pair battle and took a lot of points with them.\n<\/p>\n<table border='1'>\n<caption style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255)'>\n<em><br \/>\n07\/22\/2007 The scorecard for a game of Tichu<br \/>\n<br \/>\nGT or T bet <span style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
