\nToday, I won two 2 mark hands. They were pretty similar in that, for the
\nlast bone that I would play, I need it to be a “walker.” Which means that
\nit needed to be the top value in its suit with no trump possible.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe first hand was: 1:1 2:2 4:4 5:5 6:3 3:3 3:2. For this hand, I called
\nno trump, and led the 6:3 as a three. One of the opponents knew I was
\ngoing to walk a small three but my 1:1 drew out his 3:1. So when I played
\nmy 3:3 it would draw out his last three. And I would claim with the 3:2.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe other hand was: 4:4 6:4 4:3 4:1 1:1 3:3 3:2. For this hand, I
\ncalled 4’s as trump. I needed that no one on the opposing team had all
\nthree of the remaining 4s. Fortunately, they did not and I was able to
\nrun trump out. Next up was to play my double 1, the double 3, and then
\nthe 3:2. Once again, no one had “protection for threes” (meaning that
\nthey could keep two threes and play the low one on the double three and
\nkeep the high one to stop the 3:2).\n<\/p>\n
\nThe initial draw was amusing today. When there are more than four people waiting to play a game, we each draw one bone randomly and the people who hold the highest four bones will play. I drew a 6:5 so I was guaranteed to play. The second to the last person drew the 1:0. And, surprisingly, the last person drew the 0:0 (4% chance)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
