What do you say?
Answer
Say “I hold”. Seven sure no-trump winners (three Kings, then the Q, the C, the Q and the Q beside every higher card of their suits) and only two Taroks make this a No-Trump hand, and in this game only the Forehand may hold. P3 must now bid higher or pass. A Solo asks for a count of 12 with the Skus and the XXI, and yours is 5; pass and the No-Trump is P3’s.
