I play online with 7000 other players. Some of them are what I call "hope" bidders. They bid 175 and "hope" their partner sends them the 3 or 4 cards needed for a double run. Now I bid pretty high needing 1 card, and fairly high needing 2 cards, but I stop bidding at about 100 if I need 3 or 4 cards. Most of the time, when they need 3 or 4 cards, they go set. Sure, they get lucky once in a while and hit, but not that often.

My question is this:  does anybody know the odds of making a double run needing 3 cards from your partner?

I'm new to this forum, so if I'm out of line, please let me know.
Welcome to our site and thanks for the questions. Can you tell us more about the site that you play on? Does this site only offer 4-player Double Deck Passing Pinochle?
