i've played spades at least three different ways

1. traditional- 52 cards, 4 suits, 13 to a suit. card values are chronological.

2. online- 52 cards, deuces are counted as high spades, so 12 hearts, clubs and diamonds

3. Brooklyn- 52 cards, 2 of clubs and 2 of hearts is replaced by the jokers, and the remaing deuces along with the jokers are counted as high spades. so 12 hearts , 12 diamonds, 12 clubs and 16 spades.

in this he counted the 2 of spades as a low spade so i've never seen that before

@yerok see thats kiddie spades. i learned to play spades in prison and jailhouse rules is by far the best way to play spades. basically the only rule in jailhouse is you have to bid a minimum of board. no going nil no overbook no having to bid 13 books. having to bid 13 books is ridiculous by the way. and if i underbid and you overbid based off of my hand and i set you whos fault is that? you should have bid your hand instead of bidding off what i said.

nice video

@KaOs5950 Ha well the bids have to add up 13 depending on who you play with. I've also played with people who say that for every 3 books/tricks you underbid, 1 book/trick goes to the other team. It's a rule designed to stop perpetual underbidding.

[KaOs5950]

i just underbid and set the other team

[v8Buster87]

heres how i play generally. I GET MY BID, no more no less, unless the bids were pretty close, and it is worth taking a bag. Other than that, i am feeding all overbooks to the other team, and just taking what i bid, while at the same time protecting my partners nil if they go nil. I burn my cards from highest to lowest, especially if there is a nil on the table, and my first CUT is with my highest spade, and then i continue to go highest to lowest, to hopefully feed the other team bags,or set nil
