Learn the Difference Between Strait & Bid Whist

There is difference between the two games. Hence one game is a variation, the most popular form of the game that is played today, and we'll be coming to that in the next session is called bid Whist with kiddie. The difference between straight Whist and bid Whist is that in straight Whist there are no Jokers; you do not use Jokers in straight Whist. Number two, we do not have a kiddie. A kiddie, very similar to Euchre, is like a discard pile. For example, if you were dealing out the cards--let's just deal them out real quick--there would be a point in time that you'd have to have four cards in the kiddie plus the Jokers; that's the kiddie. Straight Whist we deal out all the cards. Everybody starts out with thirteen cards. So that is the basic difference. Otherwise the terms uptown and downtown will come into the play. The fundamental difference between the two games: Straight Whist, all cards are dealt, all cards are in play; in bid Whist, kiddie Whist, six cards, including the Jokers are in a kiddie, so you have a much more lively and competitive auction.
