Pinochle Phenomenon
I've played a lot of Pinochle in my time, but this absolutely blew my mind. I've seen all eight Aces dealt to the same side probably four or five times, but never have I seen them all get together. So in the last hand of a game last night, I was dealt five aces, took the bid, and was passed the other three. Sweet. 100 pts for double aces around, end of game. Nice.
I shuffle a couple of times, we decide to play another game, I pass the cards to my dad who shuffles some more, and we deal them up. We're still talking about it after my girlfriend gets her pass from her partner, passes back, and says "Hey guys, you're never going to believe this." She lays down all eight aces. Her partner then melds the double pinochle, they score 154 points on the hand, game over. It took me around 30 minutes to get out of my state of shock and actually smile again. The first time it was dealt, it was cool. I'd never seen it before, we all laughed and had a great time. The second time wasn't entertaining at all. It was just weirded me out. Strange. |
