Pinochle has many variations. It is hard to find a strategy manual
that addresses the way you play the game. This manual is for you if
you play the four-card-pass-game using the following rules: *You
play with a single deck. *You play with 4 players in two
partnerships. *Your point counters are Ace, King, and 10, and each
is worth 1 point (or 10). *Your minimum opening bid is 25 (or 250).
*The auction winner (declarer) chooses the trump suit. *Declarer's
partner passes 4 cards to declarer who looks at the cards before
passing 4 back. Then meld is put down. *You use basic meld scoring.
No bonus for a third leg of a marriage or pinochle. No super bonus
for a double trump marriage. This manual shows you how to determine
the best bidding range for your hand. It is based on the
mathematical probability that your partner will have the card(s)
you need to boost your meld. You can use this bidding system even
if your partner doesn't. Also introduced are simple but optional
bidding conventions. These bids allow you to describe features of
your hand to your partner. The Table of Contents identifies the
strategic turning points that occur throughout the game. The text
suggests ways to take advantage of the opportunities available to
you at each point. Both new and experienced players will find many
ideas to sharpen their play.
