What to Pass

 

Here's a few random screenshots of some hands before the pass has taken place. Below I've suggested what I would pass, and a brief explanation. 

 

Example 1 - Easy as Pie 

Example 1

I'd be passing the two and Ace of Clubs, and the Ace of Diamonds. Easy.

 

...and this is the result. Very good hand. 

Example 1 Result
 

 

 

Example 2 - To go or not to go 

Example 2

Not a good hand. What the heck, I'll go for it. Two of Diamonds goes, and the five and nine of spades. If I am to succeed, I'll almost certainly need the Ace of Hearts.

 

Oops. Those hearts are going to win some points. Probably will be able to avoid the Queen though. 

Example 1 Result
 

 

 

Example 3 - Another easy one 

Example 3

Both the Clubs and the Ace of Spades. Hope we don't get the Queen, or any Clubs.

 

Cool. 

Example 1 Result
 

 

 

Example 4 - I don't like that 

Example 4

That Ace of Spades, the Two of Clubs, and let's see, the Queen of Hearts.

 

YUCKO! Let's hope for a Club lead. 

Example 4 Result
 

 

 

Example 5 - Hmmmmm... 

Example 5

Both the black Kings, and the nine of Clubs - so long.

 

I'm happy with that. The Ace of Clubs first off, then the eight, then the Ace of Diamonds (if I still have the lead.) Then the six of Diamonds. If someone leads a Spade, I'll throw the Ace on and continue to get rid of the Diamonds. Then wait for a Diamond/Club lead. 

Example 5 Result

More to come!!
