Principle 1: Always trust your team mate's clue is valid, until bomb. Principle 2: Blind play only if the clue receiver or someone else would bomb without your blind play to reveal the bluff. in your POV of this case: tyrion blind play r1 for w4. Has the bluff been revealed? Yes it is already reveal...

This is one of those things that varies between groups, but I would say BGA generally biases toward assuming playable clue versus longer finesse. HG is the opposite, as I understand it, you'd have to assume this could be either 3R or 3Y and delay/discard until that clarifies itself. This statement ...

Skip is a normal way to manage hands. It never means blind play because otherwise the clue receiver would assume it as a bluff, finesse, promise bluff, double bluff, layer or so on. Thus as long as the skip save is a normal chop save, then it should be assumed as just a normal skip and save. The bom...

It doesn't matter, does it? Only elo differences are used in the formulas, so it could be +1300 or +10000000, as long as it's the same for everyone.

So the real values used for ca...

I think undo is fair, because: 1. Both player can undo and see the situation after the move. 2. As long as the move is not confirmed, it takes only the time of the undo player, and the other player has actually more time to consider the next move. 3. Misclick happens acutally quite often. Azul is mo...

Its actually very simple to prove this is only a bluff: consider if Sammy doesn’t have b3 at all but only k5, can the clue giver mark b4 color to bluff k5 and is that a simple bluff with no more card layered? Yes it is and very valid. And there was a way to give a valid layer hint.(we dont discuss h...
