Hypothetical for you guys.

I flip the Ace on the deal.
I win the first 2 tricks

Am I know required to play the Ace? One of the guys said you are because you have to guarantee you win the pot, but if I didn't flip it and just drew it they wouldn't even know that I had it. I had a chance to Bourre one other player so I was trying to hold it as long as possible.

What says the OT?

It's your lead, you can play any card in your hand.

Is this like the blackjack player who screws up everybody else's hand?

And bourre is trashy.

You HAVE to play to win, meaning bourreing as many people as possible. You must play the ace or people will call you out. Period.

No..your goal is to win the pot and then bourre' your competitors to increase the pot therefore you play the Ace when it best fits that objective

Yes you are required to play the ace then any remaining trump cards in descending order followed by your best off suit.

My people are from St Landry parish. Around there, if you've got a cinch hand, you play the highest card. Otherwise you've renegged. Rules may be different in other regions.

Yea, you have a cinch, you have to play it. Otherwise you bourre and have to match the pot.

Also, if you have the next highest card in your hand after the Ace was played to win the 3rd trick, you have to play it.

Yes, you have to play your Ace and continue to fish out everyone else's trump cards with whatever trump cards you have.

Then watch your four of diamonds walk on the last trick because no one else has diamonds to furnish

You play the ace no matter if you flipped it or drew. You'll always have that hardcore player that will call out your renig. Don't be a re****.

Plus playing the Ace will draw out other trump cards.

Say one player is holding the king only, he will be screwed.

This is the name of the game.
