		<description><![CDATA[Hello Everyone!
I made this site a couple of years ago because I love this game.  Shortly after I created it I wasn&#8217;t able to play very often so I really didn&#8217;t feel like writing about something I loved to play and I couldn&#8217;t. Recently, I have been going over some things and it looks like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pulling tricks with your 10&#8217;s in pinochle is tricky, but rewarding.  In order for this strategy to work the hand play has to fall into one of two different scenarios.  Either each player has to be dealt five cards in the suit you want to play the 10 in, or the player/s that&#8217;s short-suiteed needs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Holding your trump can prove to be a great pinochle strategy or a losing one.  While playing pinochle you must be able to count on your partner, figure out where the cards are, and develop a strategy to take as many tricks as possible, especially the last one which is worth two extra points.

This applies mainly to playing pinochle on Yahoo!

This rule is not always true, you should take into factor your judgement, risk, and ability to forgive.  But it happens.
Your partner has thrown his second ace of spades.  You have the other two in your hand, as well as a jack.  Some people, and this is a safer choice, will throw that ace [...]]]></description>

This is very important.  Covering your partner, also called a save bid, is detrimental to a good team.  Even though you may feel that your hand has no way of saving the bid, always cover your partner.  My family taught me that your partner may have 1,000 aces and no marriage.  This is actually [...]]]></description>
