The proper way count all such hands is 10 see how
many cards there in sequence and then TO ma
out how many times the run can be repeated by sub
stitutng other cards for those fret used. In this
case the run Ia three and II be repeated four
times by using the To and the two os alternately
This gives four runs OF three. or - points. to
which We add for the two pairs and more for the
two nftsens. 20 altogether.

The modem rule Is that II player ssks FOR too
few cards - may either play them pas. ont. Tho
same rule would apparently apply 70 player who
has taken too few hv accident. Modern PLAYERS see
no objection to letting player bet 81 r hand
he can only get the wort ot It. The FOUR cards
will not pass Gs hush or straight. wever.
