Your table plays the Kontra expansion. P1 has bid the Call and called a King. Before the first card falls, you hold: III, VI, Q
, C
, J
, 2
, 3, 4, 8, 9, 7, 10.
Do you Kontra?
Answer
Hold your Kontra. Two low Taroks, no big Taroks, no King: the 12-count reads a bare 2, and nothing here tells you the Call is in trouble. Kontra doubles your loss right alongside your win, so it wants a real reason, your own strength or a clear read on the table, not a reflex. Save the double for a hand that actually earns it.
