What do you bid?
Answer
Bid Solo. Four big Taroks at 2 each, three small ones at 1 each and the K at 1 make a count of 12, and you hold the Skus and the XXI: exactly the Solo line. You cannot play the Call from P2’s seat, and No-Trump would turn your seven Taroks into a plain suit. Pass and you are out of the bidding, with the Solo your hand matches gone.
