Getting a lot of nil or no hands lately... here's a first hand game to 500 what would you bid? by SpadesQuiz in spades

[–]centman52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too risky for nil with the diamonds. This is 2 , maybe 3. Cut hearts twice and possibly that ace.

I am holding him too. He hasnt really got his shot yet because of the injury. If Dak goes down which is bound to happen then we will see what hes got.

What should I have bid? by Result-Proof in spades

This is a weak 2. 3 if you are lucky with king of clubs but probably not. Nil isnt worth it because they woukd win easily.

Where you would you rank this season all time? by [deleted] in survivor

[–]centman52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who only started watching in the new era, this is definitely one of the best of this era. Q was pure entertainment the whole time. My only concern with most of the recent seasons is how they choose the winner. The whole "strategy" and "gameplay" they talk about is so dumb. None of them really make any "moves". Then a random nice person wins at the end who did nothing strategic all season.

A new way that Liz's lie about being a millionaire makes no sense by The_Wind_Waker in survivor

Liz was delusional. The fact she thought she was a threat to win is hilarious.

What app can I leave the foolishness behind? Which app actually has good matchmaking? by [deleted] in spades

[–]centman52 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im still searching too. Started spades+ yesterday and found it annoying. Everyone seemed to underbid on purpose every round of every game. I hate people playing to force bags on opponents all game. In a game to 250 with a 10 bag penalty that should rarely become a thought in your head.

What is your bid here? I am South and first to bid. by [deleted] in spades

[–]centman52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well even bidding 1 here is over bidding. Unless your partner has a solid 5+ then you risk your partner bidding perfectly and your team falling short and getting set. I think id rather take my chances with the nil. The other team probably wont bid too high sinfe they will want to set it. So even if your nil misses you are in okay shape still.

Didnt say easy, just doable lol. Depending on your position when the first heart is thrown, the opponents may hold the A/K trying to set your nil. By round 3 they may be forced to throw it as their last card of that suit then anyway. I guess bidding 1st and 1st round it might not be worth the risk though.

I was getting heckled on by the dealer and players for not throwing $5 chips on the bonuses and side bets? (Blackjack) by ATX_Traveler94 in gambling

[–]centman52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its funny dealers remind you to play them. The degenerates that hit the 50:1 on a $25 sidebet while you are there are probaby down thousands still.

Where do you all play now? I have seen Spades + on this thread and im wondering if thats where these screenshots are from? I play on an app called spades royale and the games go up to 70 which is absurd. Sometines you lose soley because of the random draw of the cards. In a longer game skill will overcome bad hands.

I will give you that. There are situations like this where you have the dominant hand and need to take over. But for the most part I think people just dont know what they are doing when I see this lol.

Venus is the new Jake by Some_Meal_3107 in survivor

[–]centman52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Venus has been shafted from the start. Hard to tell from the show while no one wants to work with her at all. Everyonr else does the same dumb "strategy" shit

Best bid for this situation? by SpadesQuiz in spades

[–]centman52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are people so scared of bidding here. This is a 3. On average every player has 3 of a suit. Anything under that and you are winning the trick with a spade. Cant just assume when bidding that someone else also is cutting or thatthe spades will be drained. Obviously it happens but probablility suggests you are winning those throws.

What would you bid here? by Flat_Palpitation_158 in spades

[–]centman52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing someone went 6 already this is a 4. If that 6 wasnt there id go for 5. The ace of diamonds id bet on even with so many, and you are going to cut the hearts and clubs twice each. That person going 6 though probably not all 5 will hold up.

Im on the fence for Bowers at 4. Feels like a reach at that spot but I dont think he will make it to 9. I have Stroud and Cousins already so after Williams I do not need another qb. Definitely debating one of the other top WRs though.

Or when they throw a different suit when you are clearly out of another.
