Second Ace Discard

Ends Disastrously By OSWALD JACOBY ~ IN OUR last installment “Minnie the Melder had just completed a canasta in nines .. ahd discarded an ace. ; Left in her hand were two

held 10 cards and hei side had also melded three fours and three queens. tosis The pack was frozen and the opponents still needed 120 for an

initial meld. Minnie’s ace discard!

got by, and her next draw was another ace, : She discarded this one also, whereupon the roof finally fell in. Her opponent on the left had finally acquired his count and had always held two aces. He took the discard pile and made several melds. » » » HARRY DREW .and as usual melded nothing at all. George drew and completed two canastas and added cards to some of his partner's other melds. Minnie drew and failed to go out. The next player drew and completed two more canastas for his side. Then Harry drew ' and finally came to life and made a couple of melds. On ‘her next play Minnie drew a third eight and went. out. i The final result was that Minnie's side lost almost a thousand points net on the hand. w » »

NOW FOR some ifs, If Minnie! had been willing to follow Har-| ry’s hold-up play from the start| we. can't tell what would‘ have| happened. The worst that could have happened would be that George's side would be very lucky and go out before Minnie and Harry made much of a score. |

§ ~ The, best that could happen!

would be that Minnie and Harry | would control the discard pile ~ right through a long successful hand and would score enough points to win the game then and there, in "spite of the fact that they had started with only 2470 points. ’. » » - HOWEVER, Minnie abandoned that play and tried to play for out. Once she took the two-card discard pile and melded down to pix cards Harry should have stopped holding up and completed

~~ Then Minnie would have been able to go out before her opponents had melded and would have gained about a thousand points on the hand, Harry's mistake was the really serious one. Finally Minnie made a mistake

when she completed the canasta in nines. She should merely have thrown the ace and retained her two pairs and two wild cards, i Then, when the opponents got the pack, Harry could have completed the canasta and Minnie would have been ables to go out before the opponents won the game,

Mr. Jacoby is unable to answer Individual questions on canasta from readers, However, he will include the most frequently asked questions in his column,
