You are the Forehand and bid first. Your hand: Skus, XIV, X, VII, V, K
, Q, C
, 1.
Do you bid Three, bid Two, or pass?
Answer
Bid Three, and stop there. You hold the Skus, one of the three honours, so you may bid at all, and with the Skus you should bid on almost anything. But nobody has outbid you yet, and you climb to Two, One or Solo mainly to outbid a rival, because each rung up costs you a talon card. Call the XX and play.
