Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.

A player may lead to two tricks at the same time by playing a pair (two of a kind). The opponent can win both tricks only by playing a larger pair. However, he does not have to respond with a larger or smaller pair; he may discard any two cards to the pair leads. In the same manner three or four of a kind can be played.
Scoring: In Pokino, as in Bridge, the score is kept in columns divided in the middle by a heavy line. Trick scores are entered below the line, while bonuses and honors are marked above the line. A player receives one point for each trick he wins, if opponent is not under penalty. If opponent is doubled, each trick is valued at two points, and if redoubled, four points.
