I wanted to say that my hand on the last one we played (where we were set) was REALLY bad:

Q Spades
5 Clubs
K Clubs
4 Hearts
5 Hearts
6 Hearts
7 Hearts
4 Diamonds
5 Diamonds
9 Diamonds

An excellent candidate for a nello bid, if we were allowing them.

My hand this time was a little better, but not by much.

Hey, relantel:

Can you let me know what was in the widow from the last hand we played (the lost 7 Clubs bid)?

I'm just curious how a nello hand would have went.

My hand:

Q Spades
5 Clubs
K Clubs
4 Hearts
5 Hearts
6 Hearts
7 Hearts
4 Diamonds
5 Diamonds
9 Diamonds

Widow:

4 Clubs
7 Diamonds
8 Spades
10 Diamonds
JOKER


So for a nello hand:

Discard: JOKER (duh), Q Spades, K Clubs, 8 Spades, 10 Diamonds.

Leaving:

4 Clubs
5 Clubs
4 Hearts
5 Hearts
6 Hearts
7 Hearts
4 Diamonds
5 Diamonds
7 Diamonds
9 Diamonds

That is an INCREDIBLE nello hand. You gotta admit. Guaranteed to lose EVERY trick.

In terms of scoring, it's S-C-D-H.

(I should probably pass but I was considering a 7D bid - but would order of suits require an 8D bid to top the 7S bid?)

Rather than wait on me... I had better pass. Last time I guessed on a good widow it didn't go so well.
