..<:{stats}:>..97 minutes played..159 hands played..36.6 secs/hd..15 pots[34.1%w/quality hands)..1 for every 3.61 hands played.."Current Bank:" 11,540,265$.."Up:" 40,436$("DB:" +3K$.."DQs(2/3):" +29.5'KS .."Achievements/Stylist III:" +7.5K$.."Table(1):" +436$)..21st "Level(+1)"..../....

[[From the Table]:..another player..a kamikaze..200$ buy-in..his stack varied like a yo-yo & at one point had over 1K$ chips in his stack..eventually busted out & a 90K$ chip re-buy..yup..checked his stats..all he had left..& next hand was gone..try as I might I just don't "get" that style of play]..../....

Glossary of Terms Spades

A game: made up of several hands, collect 500 points and you win....you can also win regardless of you're score if your opponents score -200 points or more

Bags: if you as a team take more tricks then you bid, you get 1 bag for each trick over, collect 10 and you lose 100 points

Bid: before a hand is played, based on the cards you hold, now many tricks you can win

Hand: players play one card each high card in suit takes the hand unless a trump is played and then high trump wins the hand, 13 tricks per hand

Lay of the cards: how the cards are dealt on any given hand

Nil Bid: a bid of nil......your intent to not take a trick in a hand, +100 points if you succeed, -100 points if you take even 1 trick

Over bid hand: there are 13 tricks per hand.....if the bids total 14 or more....one team will go back...maybe both

Set: a team failures to make their bid, their lose 10 points for each bid example team total bid was 7, team took 6 or less tricks....you lose 70 points.....also referred to as "going in the hole" or "going back"

Suits: Spades, Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts

Trick: one round of play in a hand

Trump: in Spades, the spades are always trump, beats everything except a higher trump, can only be played if you don't have the suit lead..must be played if trump is lead.....trump can't be lead until a player trumps in....

Trumping In: playing a trump on a trick when you are out of that suit....but it's the players choice...unless trump is lead...

We/They: as in any partners card game one of the possible names for the 2 teams....I've seen "us" & "them".....and a few others i can't mention here
