Hand Analysis : Live Game

by street3 on Jan.07, 2009, under Random Junk

Okay people, it’s hand analysis time, ala @cprpoker’s site.

I am Hero, playing in a live game.  I am the button and action comes to me.  The board is showing a Red 8.  I have in my hand 5 cards.

  • A red Skip
  • A blue 8
  • A Draw Four
  • 2 Green cards (2, 9)

The player to my right (my brother) has only one card remaining.  I called UNO, but the sonofabitch swore he called it before me.  But that is neither here nor there.  Anyway, he’s drooling like a tard, which is either because he has a red card, an 8 or is simply an idiot.  I have reason to beleive all three. 

So, my options are as follow:

  • Play the Red Skip which skips his turn
  • Play the Blue 8 changing the color and hoping he does not have an 8 or a blue card
  • Risk all and play the Draw Four, which according to the rules, i cannot do while holding a playable color or number card. 

What should i do?  Please comment below.  Later I will post the results.

    Well, I would play the skip card, then I’d play the blue 8 to change color. If that doesn’t work f*ck the rules and do the draw four!!!!

    Deanna hit the nail on the head. I would play the skip, then the blue and take him to value town.

    I would take one of the green cards, hide it under the skip card, and get rid of two cards at once. If you get caught, just say, oh, they must be sticking.
