Do you keep to Three, or fall back to Dodge Round?
Answer
Fall back to the Dodge Round. You hold four small Taroks, the III, the V, the VII and the IX, with no Trull card and no big Tarok among them. For Three you should hold four Taroks or more with a big Tarok (XV and up) or a Trull piece among them, and this four has neither. With four small Taroks you should dodge Card Points rather than promise 36 Card Points.
