Al Spath Pinochle Part 1

[@jessederinger]

This is explained so well. Pinochle is always hard to learn. But I’f you watch a few hands or a few games before watching this video, then this can be a super effective tutorial

[@DnKintaudi]

Very patient and instructive

[@paologanci4462]

How you count points

[@vanorajorgensen9160]

I really enjoy your teaching. Question how do count a run in trump and marriages around. Some say 35 and others say 39??

[@HiNRGboy]

The original game is a 2 player game, closely derived from an earlier game called Bezique. Both games play very similar. The 3 and 4 player Pinochle are later variants.

When you talk about triple peanuckle and how do you pass the the points to your partner

[@Koytch]

This is double pinnacle. Watch Part 2 for demo game with explanation.

[@heddie59]

I play runs is 20 and mandatory bids if you have double aces 100 double runs 150 or triple marriages in a run 110 and triple pinochle is 90

[@caseyballard4652]

Isnt this double pinochle?

[@Koytch]

Yes, like many card games there are variations, and as he states at 1:44, this is double deck pinochle. However, it is still pinochle. He states that it's double deck a variety of times.

Double deck double pinochle is Q s J d =. 60 points ah

When passing, is it better to give trump or aces?

[@Koytch]

There is no passing. Watch Part 2 for a demo game with explanation.

[@aprillovesgolf7042]

Of course you pass cards to your partner. Answer the question please. Aces or trumps?

[@Retro52]

@@aprillovesgolf7042 Trump before aces. If its hearts or clubs then pass trump. If its diamonds or spades then pass pieces of pinochle (jack of diamonds and queen of spades) before trump and aces. If you have no trump or pieces of pinochle to pass than pass your aces, 10s, etc. I use these guidelines playing with a four card pass. Hope this helps.

[@robinthompson1042]

Why bid?

[@jamester000]

um cuz if u have a good hand and pull your meld then you win money from the other two players, depending on how much u were able to meld

[@abelin5568]

@@jamester000 If i melded 50 but decide not to bid, then i earn 15 counters in my tricks, will i have 65 points? What if i meld 50 and only earn 4 counters in my tricks, will i have 54 points? lastly, if i meld 50, then bid 50, and earn 10 point in tricks, will i get set?

[@Koytch]

This is a two part video (Part 1 and Part 2). I only shot the videos, but you can go to Al Spath's KZbin site and ask him any particular questions under discussion ==> kzbin.infodiscussion Reference his double pinochle video.

[@abelin5568]

I am a beginner. If i dealt and bid 50, and everyone passes, how many points must i earn in tricks to not get set? Do i have to earn a minimum of 20 points? It 20 point the standard minimum? What would happen if i bid 50 and earned 10 counters in my tricks?

[@jakmak52]

If I have aces around i''ll just say 2 instead of 52. 3 instead of 53 and so on.

[@jenbill]

My dad used to have a game going every Saturday bunch of old timers come over and play I used to get a kick out of watching them talking trash, I specially like how before playing their hand they would hold the cards out over the table pretending to think about it then slam them down on the table like take that bitches.Ahahahahahahahhahah!

Your two deck randomization method is flawed.

[@josephmarcotte1952]

The game is not for me. Too complicated.
