Sigh… The luck has not been with me… I can only hold up against so much smacking down…

For Adam’s first Tichu call, there was slight hiccup. During the deal, Adam accidently deals me a card face up. He quickly puts it back into the cards remaining to be dealt at some position. I noticed that it was the Dragon and jokingly asked to keep it as long as everyone knew I had it. Then Adam called Tichu. And during his play I noticed that he had the Dragon! Interesting coincidence…

For the opposing team’s first one/two, Ed had the ability to go on top of Adams 2-pair-sequential run. It would have killed his hand though. If Ed had done so and led a single card to me (knowing that he passed the Dragon to me and I still had not played it), I could have gone out second and stopped the 1/2.
