: I should have clarified one thing. If I have a 7 card suit and meld I will always pass the meld. If you want to cut off meld bids either a 60 or 65 bid is OK depending on your hand.

: As far as the example you cited, I don't remember it but there is obviously more to it than what you put in your post because I don't bid 65 on 25 meld and a weak hand under normal circumstances. Playing an 8 hand game sometimes calls for taking chances, especially last few hands if you are down. There are times when you can't sit back meekly and let the opponents take an unchallenged 60 bid when they are ahead.

: : Maybe thats one reason you wooped me the other day. I think I bid 60, our p's passed and you went 65 with 25 or so meld, your p had 18 and aces. If I remember, you took 25 percent of the tricks and your p took a trick or two more than you did but you made the bid with 68.

: : I have a different answer. You should always pass meld if you are the first bidder. If you jump out at 65 and I go 70, most partners don't have a have a clue as what to do, especially if they they have a good hand, but no meld.

: : Basically their are two ways to pass meld, one is the traditional method where you would bid 52 or someother number and the other is, by bidding without passing meld, and that is something you and your p should talk about before the game begins. This discussion should not be considered a pre-arranged fake meld bid.

: : Normally if you bid 60 that means you have a good hand and no meld to give, bidding 65 means you have 20 meld and an excellent hand.

: : So if your RHO bids 70, then your partner would know you have 20 meld and can bid accordingly.

: : Im me if you disagree. I gotta run off to the tournament and do not have time to proof read my reply. Ty.

: : Just about anytime you have a strong hand and at least a seven card suit (preferably 8 card or better) and 25 meld or more. You could go 65 with slighty less meld if your hand is very strong.

: : : : Okay, heres one for you. When do you think it is okay to cut off bidding by jumping to 65 as first bidder?

: : :
: : : : : Post away. If you feel silly asking a question, then send the question directly to me and I will post it as one of my own. There are no stupid questions, only stupid pino players. I am out the door so ya cant KMB for being so stupid. Now for your question, please.
