for tn. player Of the last card the tre s"''' "
Yes. Five holes. There arc no duplicates
between the 3 and the third 4. so that the cards
forming the run from the deuce to the SIX can be
pegged, no matter In what order they fell.
@. II. J. asks: How IL the CRIB made up when only
three play. each getting i've cards'
After tho dealer has given each player I'VE cards
he deals one more card to the table. face down,
which will make the fourth card Of the CRIB. This
card must not DO seen by any OF the plsyers. not
even the dealer.
". H.. l. says: After laying out for the ohb. the
non dealer found he had still I'VE cards In his hand
The dealer. bets he has the option OF a fresh deal
Instead OF drawing card.
Dealer is right. and he pegs two points penalty
IN either case.

one table all passed and the trump was turned
Ss Tse se ss . a ne
trump. either visible or named the rule TO play tho
hand out did not apply.
The wording OF the rule a. stated Il not a. clear
as It usually n IN such contests. The common form
Is III the bell rings after tho trump turned. the
hand shall be played out The meaning Of the
r,lo given by G. T. u. Is evidently the same that
is II tho deal Is complete and trump Is turned up.
the hand shall be played out. The turning down
Of tho trump Is much part OF the play as any
thing else. II may have been passed for euchre
or turned down for euchre, and the more fact Of
passing and turning down shows that the play Of
the hand had practically begun when the bell rang.
The more common and most satisfactory OF all
rules for progressive games Is TO stop play the In.
slant the bell rings. no matter what the state OF the
game or deal.

No. But II the trump turned up Is less valuable
than anything else 10 his hand he can take II into
his hand and then lay II down again. face down.

ber Of correspondents for copies of tho rules for
th, game a. played In various parts Of the country
Unfortunately tho rules are very far from uniform
and leave room for many disputes.
Poker, Fl. T. N. asks 10 there any penalty
for deliberately and continuously miscahins a
hand 81 poker'
There arc no laws agaln,, bad habits and tho only
remedy Is not to play with the offender

ands he has a third queen, b bets 1t is too late.
Ats not too late. us entitled to show his whole
nve cards for the pot, and II cannot beat them B
loses. pair Of queens Is not poker hand
y. F. wants to know why a straight with an ace
n II IL not better than one king high
Because the top card OF the straight determines
Its rank and king high straight Is better than
five high. The ace loses It's rank the bcst card
In the pack when It u placed below the deuce to
hll out straight.
B. G. T. says Is there any rule TO compel player
to announce that he is splitting openeBs
In some clubs there Is; In others there Is not.
That Is one of the rules which should be imputed
about before playing. as some house rules do not
evon allow splitting.
T. C. J. says: Dealer lifts his hand before the
i, dead: Dealer bets II Is no, dead unless il IS
short after the draw but that before the draw he
can take In cards enough to make II good,
Dealer Is wrong. Any hand Of more or less than
Ave cards fted from the table or looked a. whether
before or after the draw, Is o dead hand.
z. 3. says: A nnds he has six cards and insists II
"a Q misdoal. bets that looked at q part OF his
hand before making tho claim his whole hand Is
dead. and tho rest Of the deal stands good.
B Is right.
HIS. says: Can man who gets peep at tho card
about TO be dealt to him demand another card II
the one he sees docs not suit him'
No. tits not an exposed card unless II Is turned
over. AFTER leaving tho dealers hand so that all tho
players at the table can see u.
is. says: A opens a Jackpot and b. stays. In the
draw, A calls for three cards and for one. While
was looking at his hand to Arrange his discard
some one must have gathered up his card a. ho
pould not ind the one laid OF for him by the dealer
B insisted on having another card dealt him, as II
was not his fault that he had not got the given
cannot get another card It Is tho players
business when he asks for cards In tho draw 10
leo that the night number arc given TO him and
that he gets them and takes care Of them. Had
3 discarded before drawing, a. the rules require.
10 would not have boon looking at his hand whom
10 should have boon looking out for his draw.
A. r. wants to know II the mathematical chance
,f ning bobtail varies with the number OF players
% the game.
No. because II docs not matter whether the forty
,evon unknown cards are all In the pack that you
trsv from. or some Of them distributed among
hs other paayes.
