they’ll never go for it but the regular season needs shortening bad. officiating has to be at least a little more consistent between playoffs and reg season. you can’t prevent injuries from happening but that shouldn’t stop you from making those changes. it’s a pattern of stars going down late atp

so if the dealer picks up the face-up card from the kitty, that suit is now trump. the right bauer is the jack of that suit, and is the highest value trump card. the next is the left bauer, which is the same COLOR as the right bauer, but is not the same suit. the dealer has to discard a card since h
