How to Get Off of Your Hand in Barbu

Okay and youre going to get her out of the way even if they take it, fine. Now the only threat card to your hand is the Three of Hearts. So what you're going to do now is catch the Ace of Diamonds, catch the King of Spades, play the Three of Hearts and say, that's it. I'm done. And let the others fight. Because the only cards you're going to have left are those two and this one and this one. So, by the time you're on lead all you have is those cards. You have unloaded the Club suit. You have unloaded the Diamond tops, top. You've unloaded the Spade top. Now isn't that just a wonderful hand to be on lead with last two. And you just push that out and even if the Deuce is with all the other Hearts. You're certainly going to get off lead with this. And let the others fight over those fat thirty points because, negative point's because you're not going to get them. Do not call last two with hands that have lots of middle cards because you're going to get absolutely smoked in them, absolutely smoked. Here's a hand for example. It's kind of our stock trade hand. Would you call last two with that hand? Yikes! Awful! How are you going to escape the lead? Theres just no way to get off that hand. You've got the Queen of Hearts, Ten of Hearts. I don't know you start that out, they're going to throw you back in. You don't have any bottoms. You don't think the Five of Spades is going to do the job, do you? You are guaranteed to soak in thirty points in that hand for last two It's an awful hand. It's an awful hand for Hearts. It's an awful hand for Nullows. It's just basically an awful hand. And you don't get a Mulligan in this game. So, again, last two you must have the Deuces or cards to get off lead toward the end of the hand. That's the idea. You don't want last two.
