It is based on over 35 years experience and countless hours of putting it down on paper. It is there for your benefit and you should consider using it. We will set up a pinochle strategy group to help the players along.  \n[http://sbirnbaum.hnccorp.com/pinochle/](http://sbirnbaum.hnccorp.com/pinochle/)  \nOverview  \nPinochle is a very difficult game to play and even more difficult to master. The more you play the more you realize how you must change your thinking during the game to be effective. There is only one method to raise your level of play above amateur, and that is to put in the time required studying the game. Playing regularly and a small amount of study will raise your level of play. You will never be more than an amateur if you only show up once or twice a week to play, without dedicating a little time to study the documentation provided on the website. In addition, you will be able to follow the discussions at the end of a game that always occur. Pointers made by better players will make more sense. You will be into the game on a different level than that of just a player.  \nHand Setup  \nAn important part of advanced strategy is to set up your hand quickly, and play the hand quickly. A quick smooth flow of the game helps you remember the point count, and what cards were played. In order to do this you must pick up your cards all at once or in the groups of three as they are dealt. First make sure you know the score. This is a very important step. Then quickly separate the colors, and sort them down by value. Now you see a group of cards color separated and value separated.  \nFrom the Hand Evaluation Flowchart (HEF) [http://sbirnbaum.hnccorp.com/pinochle/strategy.php](http://sbirnbaum.hnccorp.com/pinochle/strategy.php) on the website there are only a few decisions to make at this time. Using the Pinochle Hand Evaluator (PHE) Program [http://sbirnbaum.hnccorp.com/pinochle/phe.php](http://sbirnbaum.hnccorp.com/pinochle/phe.php will help you recognize patterns)[ will help you recognize patterns](http://sbirnbaum.hnccorp.com/pinochle/phe.php will help you recognize patterns) of cards. These two aids should be used as study material and time given to develop knowledge of the game.  \nYou must be able to visually see the pattern of meld. If the cards are in order, and they should be in the same order every time, you will rapidly see any pattern that represents meld. If you are first, second your partner is in the game because they did not bid yet. So, in order, you would give a bid of a Run, Aces or 100 in meld.  \nSeeing the Run or Aces takes a fraction of a second and counting meld slightly longer. It should take no longer than 10 seconds to give the bid after the last card is picked up. But, this only can be done if you know the score, and are aware of who dealt before a card dealt. In other words – pay attention to the game.  \nAs soon as you know what you are going to bid, you start evaluating what you would do if your partner passes or give a bid back. Will you be able to bid for a star without your partners help in the event of a pass? Will you be able to go for a star if your partner bids? Will you be able to push when your partner closes out? Our quick evaluation 20 pts a trump and 20 for outside aces will tell you this very quickly. If the number is nowhere near a closeout or push an automatic pass is warranted. By going though this exercise in the same order every hand, you will be bidding very quickly and the flow of the game will be more enjoyable to everyone. The other  \nFeb 2010 Copyright SB Consulting Co. 1 of 6  \ndocuments on the website discuss in detail how to bid, however, later in this document we will fine tune that process.  \nPlaying the Hand  \nTrump  \nOK, so you’re team has the bid, now you have to play the hand.
