                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I think that all of the double deck pinochle game rules change to the same as it is with both computer versions...i.e.-must throw higher card if possible or unless trumped, must pull a save of 20 trick points, unless your meld is more than 20 from saving, then pull the difference. I don't want to play a hand and someone melds their entire hand, and play 2 aces of trump and they saved. Thats b.s., why play the rest of the hand? Its pointless. I would say 70% or more could never get 20 points if they had to, and about 40% of players just throw cards, no strategies, or they sit there and let computer play for them..that is b.s. as well]]></content:encoded>

Please check out all my posts that I wrote in the Forum area I created call something like Communicating with players or something....lol

My usual player name is "MikeOxBig" but when I wrote this to you I currently had changed my name to "Pass Meld P" because of this issue and trying to tell them to send it!!!....LOL]]></content:encoded>
