take nine or ak or a trey for a starter We can

never get third hand worth twenty four withous
CHANGING the starter.
W; n wants to know the difference between
playing on and "on" at cribbage
Playing on is avoiding the play Of cards which
VIII give the adversary FOOD chance "a score.
Playing on Is giving him such chance. with .
view OF scoring more heavily In your own turn.
The term Is usually applied TO sequences
he NraF as.N -. IL -
dealer hOlds an ace and fivs hut plays an elghS
or nine. he Is said 10 be- playing on because he
gives his opponent no chance 20 make q run Of
three. But II trey Is the nrst card played. and
the second pageT holds a hve and a trey ana plays
the 1ve. his object Is clearly coax his opponeBt
TO make run OF three with four. whereupon tbs
second player can put down his trey and make
another run Of three and fifteen at the same time
This Is an example OF playing on.
COnaHiaS; n y; T; II. says; A has on the table

e We otnsr suits. HIS opponent 3, draws the seven

compel TO discard ~
rs objection is . quibbls Granted that he caa
force A 20 take the seven as the top OF his heart
sequence. he cannot compel A 20 leave IL there.
As a has the right under the rules 10 borrow Q
card from the end OF sequence OF more than three
cards, can borrow the seven from the end OF tho
heart sequence ana lay down three sevens. even
'sfter B has foTSed him. cannot compel A Ia
discard when A can lay down eleven cards wlthou1
dscarding.
VinEt-et-un. r. p. c. wants to know how this
game Is played with two dice Instead Of with cards.
Only one dice Is used and there is banker.
The players make up pool by equsl Contributions
"a faGo a. h. ala
adding each throw to the before his object
being 70 get A. near twenty as possible with
out bursting. II he gets more than twenty one,
be is out of the pool. The n getting nearest
twenty one takes the pool NJ divide IT, There
are no natuTss.
Diyys Fys aSndTsd III .I AN SAYS Can n. ioEsr ss
holder OF the Joker holds cards OF the suit iedi
No. The Joker Is suit by itself at trumps,
and the player holding It Is not allowed to revoke
as long as he can follow to the suit led.
Probabilities. }. c. says: What is true of dice
ought to be true OF roulette and OF tossing cona
ssS1 sad Of faro but any gambler win bet YOU that
are against Its winning again. There IS a limit 70
odds against repetition immense.
II Is Just this theory OF betting that ruins so
many people at the gaming tables II the principle
were true, all that would be necessary would Be
TO exercise little patience to win all the money
In the bank rolls Of all the gambling houses.
A. d. is Stin unssusned that there may not be
difference between de facto situation and a
Of more Than twenty consecutive events on an
sven sXen chance Sneh as heads or tails, or red and
the greater the odds against lie being broken.
n there facts with which the theory does
not agree the theory must be false but such facts
have yet to be discovefed In the calculation OF
probabilities A. o. s right about the odds against
q record being broken but that Is not tAe point
Those ODDS were before the nrst throw wss mAde.
The record having been broken. II is an even bes
that the same color comes once more.

he did not pay 10 see II. What said about three
kings has nothing 90 do with the case Is talk does
not 90 in poker; the hands show for themselves.
II was blufied out Of Jack pot. in which hehed
two pairs against a three card draw. by a httls
talk and bet OF a white chip he has no one 10

they are out also. and says my queens Win.~ and
starts TO take in the pot, when one OF tho two play
eTs objects, and calls As bet, showing two pairs.
Has this player right to bet after comparing
hands with another player who has dropped out
The whole proceeding OF As Is irregular. ard
the blame must not be laid on the player VINO
called. The opener should have said nothlnR
about holding queens, but should have simply
said. As no one calls shan take the pot" That
would have brought out decision from the one
with two pairs. By his wholly unnecessary talk
about his hand gives an opponent an Advantage
over him 10 which that opponen' Ia not entitled.
