There is no rule on this subject. but 1t is custom

been right. but having played that deal out on tho

game by dealing himself.
NJ. A. Z. says: In . two.handed game A. plays a
jack, 70 which +, plays a Ave. pegginn two holes for
which A plays a i've. and wants to peg two holes for
the pair.
There is no pair, because tho king comes between.

trumps?
No. There is no r~eneging privilege in euchro.
You are thinking Of spoil i've. which is avery similar
game.
p. Poker ni,o g. n Nj, says; In the draJ, 4 asks nd, for on, ons
card. when is he to be helped?
After ali the others have received their cards. in
Guiding the dealer. Some modern clubs have
adopted the rule of compelling the player to take n
card faced in the draw. Just as he would on the
original deal. If two cards are faced. however. it is
a misdeal. This eliminates all controversy as to
who shall be helped next. one of the most common
disputes at the poker table. At least six New York
sporting clubs have adopted the new rule.
G. r. says: A opened jackpot. drawing one card
only. DE then bet the limit, but no one called. He
shows a fonr-card flush, jack high. claiming to have
discarded the other jack. No one having seen the
pair. and A not having announced that he was split
Ing openers, can he claim the pool2
Certainly. If a player is allowed to spit openers
at all he is not compelled to tell the table that he is
drawing to a bobtail. and the others must take his
word for it that he had openers unless they can prove
the contrary. The only remedy for this continual
source of trouble at the poker table is to adopt the
modern rule, which docs not allow a player to split
openers under any circumstances.
T. f. says: In a game in which the blind is FIVE,
call ten and the limit ten. the first man to say puts
cannot do this. because he is practically doubling
the limit by making it twenty to play.
To put up ten would be to "see" the regular
amount of the ante. As any following player could
increase this ten by raising it ten more. the hrst man
TO say has undoubtedly the same privilege.
7. Y: says; In giving cards for the draw the
dantally turns over. He Ass rts that rs no player
comes after MIN ana II Will not alter the run of any
other players draw. he is entitled to keep that card.
other card. Which is right?
The dealer must take another card. See note in
foregoing answer to G. NJ.
Al. NJ. says: In a seven.h,nded game the first
his hand. announces that he has only fonr cards. Is
this a misdeal, or does he get another card from tho
dealer?
No bet having been made, the player with the
short hand has the option OF demanding a new deal
or king the dealer to give him another card from
the top of the pack, but he must decide which he
will do without looking at his hand.
j.. e. B.. says: In a hye-handed game A opened a
jack pot for the limit. Every one passed. and he was
made a mistake in hi, hand and did not hold open.
ers., One, PLAYER, 7, still held his Ave cards, which
abandoned their cards, Does D win the pool?
He does. Attention has frequently been called
to the importance of holding hands in a jack
pot until some one has bet against the opener, or
openers have been shown.
F, R; "; says: Two PLAYERS. A and B. raise each
hsnd. and A Acknowledges it is cood, but decline to
show his own hand. Is not B entitled to see As
Yes. All the hands in tho call must be shown to
the board.

correct.
