re: Question for Bourre players

Once a player has two tricks won and the ace of trump in their hand they have a " sure winner" and as such are required to play the ace a followed by their best remaining card
If player has Ace, Spot of trump and Ace off suit he must play in that order
In the strictest interpretation of the rules if the player has King, Queen of trump he must play them in that order or player reneges and the pot remains
Trust me on this I have played "house" hundreds of times back in the day when troopers from Troop L would stand around and watch our illegal back room Bourre game while drinking beer on duty. As Houseman I was required to enforce the renege rule many times on very unhappy card players.
In those games in return for supervising play/ enforcing rules the " houseman" did not ante and split winnings with Tavern owner but covers his own losses.

Once you have 2 tricks,you are forced to come out

I have two tricks in hand with Trump Ace and 2 high offsuits left. From the way the hand went I knew I could possibly Bourre one player if I held the Ace until the 4th card instead of playing it 3rd and winning the pot.
If it's my lead why should I have to play the Ace? I you have to play to win after the lead is played, but the rules would seem that I could lead with whatever I want because I'm setting the table so to say.
Seems like this is a contested thing among many camps.

its a shite rule if there's incentive to bourre another player. if i have high off suits and i know all they have is low off suits why would I want to burn ace trump? I understand thats the "rule" but its a crap rule

I feel your pain brother. Trying to lobby for you here but too many bourre traditionalists that can't see how "playing to win" can be achieved without having to lead ace trump. communists.

Because you are assuming. Coming with that Ace after 2 tricks increases the odds of getting more trump cards out, in turn making your cards remaining even stronger as you are leading off with the 4th card. Everyone behind you then has to follow suit. What are the odds that everyone else playing had 4 or more trump cards? Answer....not good.

Because leading the Ace of Trump will require your opponent to waste a trump following suit which is your best chance to Bourne other player(s)

You are absolutely correct
It is called "playing from the top" in vermilion parish and "from the top down" in lafayette
And if you frick it up and try to get cute some old timer will bust your arse with the quickness

Remember, the Ace of trump will only win one trick.
I recognize the temptation to hold the Ace til later as a Frick you surprise later in the hand , but the name of the game is Bourre!

If you have already won two tricks and still holding the trump ace, you have a cinch, in which case you must lead the highest trump.
Just as if you draw A,K & Q trump, you must lead the high trumps

do you believe there is a built in money incentive to bourreing other players? If your answer is yes then I will take the time to present you one of many scenarios where not playing that bull trump is smart. You might have to throw out all your coon arse traditions and just think strictly card strategy.
Posted on 6/7/17 at 9:25 pm to Mingo Was His NameO
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****.
Posted on 6/7/17 at 9:28 pm to Sampson
Just say you don't like the rules. Don't come up with scenarios in an attempt to discredit the way the game is supposed to be played. Coonass traditions? Mais weh, neg.

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?
