SECTION 1 ( passing across ) --------------------
Frist and basic rule about passing ACROSS! ... PASS THE QofS with all the spades you have!
***
ELSE keep your spades and pass by the remaining of the rules in SECTION 2
Second rule about passing ACROSS!... if you have AD and JD pass the AD
AND A 2-CARD SUIT (that is because you have to pass one diamond, so the left 2 cards are being passed from other suit) BY THE CHDS RULE!
( CHDS RULE ! ! ! )
YOU WILL READ SOON BELOW (SECTION 2) WHAT DOES CHDS RULE MEANS!
***
Otherwise KEEP THE AD ! ! !
REMEMBER! ! !
The moment your p gets the AD, he will know you have the JD
IMPORTANT:
IF YOU GET PASSED JD FROM ACROSS, THAT MEANS THAT YOUR PARD IS LOW ON DIAMONDS, IT DOESNT MEAN THAT HE HAS THE AD!
***
IF HE HAD THE AD HE WOULD HAVE PASSED THE AD AND KEPT THE JD ! ! !
---------------------- SECTION 2 ( passing 3-cards suits ) -----------------
The main thing about playing partnership is to miss a suit after the pass...that means that you have to have 3 suits in your hand...
***
... the best way to acheive that is to pass your 3-cards suit...NOT 2-cards suit... NOT 4-cards suit... STRICTLY 3-CARDS SUIT!
***
and it would be by order:
1. CLUBS 2. HEARTS 3. DIAMONDS 4. SPADES ( CHDS RULE ! ! ! )
example 1 ... passing 3 hearts! (passing order CHDS)
IF you have 2 clubs, 6diamonds, 2spades and 3hearts...(2 clubs are being NOT passed) you are passing the 3 hearts!
***
example 2 ... passing 3 diamonds! (passing order CHDS)
IF you have 2Cs, 3Ds 6Ss and 2Hs...(dont pass 2Cs, dont 2Hs) pass the 3 diamonds!
***
THIS RULE HAS EXCEPTIONS...
DONT PASS THE JD TO ASIDE ! ! ! ONLY ACROSS ! ! !
***
if one of the 3 diamonds is the JD and the pass is NOT across then...pass the 2 hearts (2-cards suit) and one of the clubs (Q-eater) also dont pass AKQ D... pass every other combination!
example 3 ... passing 3 spades! (passing order CHDS)
IF you have 4Cs, 4Ds, 3Ss and 2Hs...(4Cs not passed, 2Hs not passed, 4Ds not passed) PASS THE 3 SPADES!
***
(dont be afraid of being passed lone A, K or Q of spades...the percent of eating the Q that way is very small...if u get the lone A or K passed from aside be sure that he has no Q, probably your p has the Q... that is still a guess and might not be true... just do the rules even if you eat the lone passed Q that would be...either stop a opponents moon or probably your shoot believe me on this one or else i got plenty for explaining! LOL )
-------------------- SECTION 3 ( no 3-cards suits ) --------------------
In case you got NO 3 cards suit... (passing order CHDS) pass the 2 cards suit and one high card of the others suits (Q-eater)
***
REMEMBER TO PASS THE 2-CARDS SUITS AND THE ONE OTHER CARD BY THE RULES!
CLUBS, HEARTS, DIAMONDS, SPADES!
THE OTHER ONE CARD IS BY YOUR CHOICE, USUALLY TO GET RID OF ONE MORE COLOR AS AT THE PIC!
If you have two 2-cards suits... (passing order CHDS) pass the first 2 and one of the next 2-cards suit that comes by the rules!
***
EXCEPTIONS:
in case u got 2 diamonds and one of them is JD... DO NOT PASS THE D AND MAKE THE JD ALONE ! ! ! pass something else :o)
In case you got no 3-card and 2-card suits and THE PASS IS ACROSS...
DO NOT PASS THE 1-CARD SUIT AND 2 OTHERS ! ! !
YOULL TRICK YOUR PARTNER ! ! !
he will be thinking that you have passed him your 2-cards suit and one other!
that would lead him thinking that you have more of the 1-card suit that u passed him...and no more of the 2-cards suit that you have passed him...
TOTAL CATASTROPHY FOR YOUR TEAM ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
You can do that to aside!
***
One more thing getting passed 3 different suits from the p means he has something like this and he is getting rid of 2 suits at once! You can do a pass like this to aside too thats good :o)
***
NOTICE!
IF you are playing by these rules, play the rules strictly! Dont change the rules, your gonna fool your partner and that will be bad ONLY for your team!
Imagine passing 3 out of 4-cards suit ACROSS... your p will assume u got no more of that suit...then you might eat the Q from him :o))))))
+++++++ (((( PLAYING THE GAME )))) ++++++++
after passing aside and the one you have NOT passed has NO more of a suit...your partner has given him 3 cards of some other suit! he has at least 3 cards of one of the others suits that your p has passed him! count on that!
----------- SHOOTING SECTION (just one and basic rule) ---------
DO NOT COUNT ON YOUR PARTNER!
Try shooting ONLY if you have the cards to do it yourself... with a CHANCE of a POSSIBLE HELP from your partner! DO NOT SHOOT HOPING THAT YOUR P HAS THE REST 4 TRICKS TO TRAM! MAYBE 1 or 2 NOT 4 ! ! ! ! ! ! that usually depends on the hand.
------------------- NON-SHOOTING SECTION -------------------------
THESE RULES ARE IN CASE YOUR NOT SHOOTING ! ! !
OTHERWISE ALL THESE RULES WILL NOT WORK OUT ! ! !
in other words... youll get killed LOL
------------ SECTION 1 ( breaking the hearts ) -------------
First and basic rule about breaking the hearts:
SLAM THE Q ON OPPONENTS THE FIRST CHANCE YOU GET!!!
That is EXCEPT if you have a 100% shooting hand! Otherwise try breaking the hearts on your partner... ( give him the first heart EVEN if it is the AH )
giving your partner the AH will cost you 14 points and it will stop possible opponents shoot... otherwise taking a hand with that AH on hearts will cost you at least 40 points....after that you might eat the Q on top of that and miss the JD... catastrophy! this AH thing leads us to the other rule at SECTION 3 :o)
-------------- SECTION 2 ( long no break of the hearts) ---------------
In case there are many tricks gone (4-5) and the hearts are still not broken...
probably someone is shooting... IF THAT IS NOT YOU...and you havent had a chance to break the hearts on your partner...BREAK THE HEARTS ON A SPADE LOWER THAN Q LEAD FROM YOUR RIGHT ! ! !
***
that will give a chance to your partner to get rid of his high Q-eater spades...
and stop a shoot in the same time, while the opponent on your left...would
be afraid to take the laid heart with a high spade because of possible Q from your p!... in case the one on your left has the Q and takes the heart with a K...
it will still leave a chance for your p to stop with the A or if reverse to get rid of the K :o)
----------------- SECTION 3 ( ducking hearts ) ------------------
The main thing about stopping opponents moon is NOT taking 50 pts at hearts with AH ! ! ! MOON IS BEING STOPPED BY TAKING ONE HEART ON OTHER SUIT ! ! ! if you take the 50 pts heart hand and Q on top, youll probably miss the jack in most of the cases! TAKE A HEARTS HAND ONLY IF OPPONENTS SHOOT IS TOO OBVIOUS! ! !
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
