In your first example, it wasn't unnecessary. It was necessary because you can't use 5. In my example, there's no reason you can't use a 1. In your second example, trash pulls are a little bit trickier. It's close to the end game and you have to determine it's a pull and not a trash chop move. On t...

In example 1 : a 5 reclue (5w) on Loafbit would have achieved the same bluff effect i think. No need to use the the chop trash card to bluff. We play with strict promise convention. 5 clue on 5w would be perfect if Monkay had 3w where he has 1w (or 4m on JB was 3w, or 4r on loaf was 3w), so the 5 c...

Here is a good example of "unnecessary" trash bluff and the only possible clue that makes a single card play: https://boardgamearena.com/archive/replay/260902-0910/?table=909841766&player=100309452&comments=97166359&goto=9 If the team was playing with this convention, how does ...

Any convention is for a group of players to decide to include or not. Why it should: - more plays = more fun Why it shouldn't: - simplicity: -- follows the principle saying plays should stop as soon as bluff is revealed -- there are situations when such an unnecessary clue is the only feasible clue ...

Why would E stop? C can only ignore 2 clue if he sees 1m on someone else.

Immediately. No player should assume it's a patch finesse initially. B should think it's 2y, 2w or 2g and discard, so C clues either 1 on D or E, depending on which 2 B holds. Discards. C sees it's a patch and will discard (or clue empty), enabling layered/patch. D assumes he has 1m (possibly layere...

3. There is a 2, and it may be in D's hand, so they will memorize it, it won't need to be saved or clued to be played later in the game. (...) If D doesn't memorize the promised 2 in their hand, forbid the clue certainly wouldn't be worth it. If they do, then yeah, is it still worth or not? I don't...

Honestly I am starting to double think the situation. I did not have any obligation to do anything (like a bluff/finesse requiring my play) so I could easily clue k5 - that would invalidate that w clue on me if it was a simple bluff and cause bombs. So such a clue should not be given. If we trust t...

What if the white were m2? You would still play the w1 first; If the newly marked white was 2m, you would cause 3g to bomb. I don't think you want to do that. Instead reread point 3 in my first post above to learn how to preserve 3g for longer instead of semi-forcing or encounraging BDRs. But in a ...

Which player between cowza and Kaznaka is the one creating the gap? There must be someone who could have responded to the white clue, but did not, enabling layered. It's a nice bluff with 4w promise. Whether a played card is known, prompt or finesse should not change anything regarding bluff vs laye...
