• Pinochle    Pinochle is an American card game of the whist family. It is played extensively throughout the USA.  Not very many people in Australia play pinochle and even though I play the game well, I have not played very often in 'real life'.  I play online at Mystic Island  and I played in a live tournament in Las Vegas several years ago. My most regular partner is Gary or Ole Hippy as he is known, who lives in California and is the best pinochle player I know and a great friend to me.
