TO keep all four queens on the table until he wins
another trick, or he will lose his meld for the sixty
queens.

In a tyo-hnnded game. ten Of spades turned. A
changes smother dix for the trump card, scoring 20
for the two. A disputes this.
A In right. Only ono dix can be scored, because the
other was played away before It was NEEDED. In or
der to score both dix cards the player must exchange
one for the trump card. after winning o trick. and
must exchange the second dix for the FIRST, after win
ming another trick.
J.. G. C. says: In q two-handed game A melds 10
trumps and plays away tho king. After winning An
Jack and ten and calls for $50 trumps. B bets this l.
against the rules. as A has split his hrSt meld. Who
AS meld is perfectly regular. because the marriage
being NEEDED first. the queen may be afterwArd used
10 form the trump sequence. but It could not be used
to form another marriage.
J.. 8. says: In q fourhanded game It was said By
one player that II !6o trumpS was mel NEEDED. none Of
other meida. Il this corrects
No. In the three or four handed game the players
can meld every possible combination that they can
make with their cards. no matter how many times
over they use them. or to what clAss the melds be-
long.

No. So long as the ,melds belong to different
glasses 1t does not matter which is scored nrst. and
tho same cards may be used over again in each.

Q better hand with B he need not show his cards. A
hand.
O must show his hand. but that will not prevent B
from winning the pool from A. unless A can prove
collusion. 1t was to prevent this peculiar fraud that
the rule was made compelling every player in the
call to show his hand to the board.
II, r. 9. says: Three players went into q pool. A
bet the limit, b raised him the limit, and O called
BIS raise. A now puts into the pot the amount OF
BIS raise. Can A amend this by now raising againf
IL A announces that he sees BIS raise. and puts
into tho pool jus. enough to do 80. 1t Ia too late for
him to change his mind; but IL he simply put up
some chips and said nothing. it is certainly only fair
for the other players to wait until he says he will
call or Is going to bet moro.
3. D. says; In q jackpot A calls b. b says, " IhGyo
queens" A says I" / have aces aud reaches for the
pool b says Hold on. / have tens and queens.'
A sayA b ia too late and should have called his hand
right in the nrst place. Is this correct:
No. What a player says at poker amounts to moth
ing. When B said he had queens, A should not have
stated what he held. but should have asked y to
show his whole hand TO the table. He 10 a. much in
fault for not doing so as b is for installing his hand.
