I was watching advanced players, and they were referring to 'cut' - please can someone enlighten me. many thanks

[tbr]

Isn't it another way of saying "ruff" or "trump?"

[wank]

people i know use it to refer to sensible bidding (cut drugs are those that have been mixed with some other substance to reduce purity/strength and perforce increase profits, as opposed to uncut hard core pure drugs which would symbolise wild or very odd bidding)

Need some context.

"Make the cut" = in a round robin with a proportion of the field qualifying for a final, to qualify for the final

"Cut and run" = cash out available tricks without taking some available risks for extras

Probably loads of other situations.

For anyone who can remember a time before computer-dealt boards, you cut the cards after you shuffle and before you deal them.

[RunemPard]

A lot of spades players would refer to ruffing as cutting. "Sorry p, I should have cut that club at trick 2, but I thought you had the queen."

[gwnn]

It's an incorrect way to refer to ruffing by non-natives. In Romanian, the two verbs coincide and I'm pretty sure it's not the only language.

Cut = "schneiden" - to finesse.

[Antrax]

Same in Hebrew gwnn.
