Strategy & Tips
In Fifth Street, consider whether you want to join or not, as the bid limit increases. You may want to throw a bad hand here, especially if played (city) aggressively. If you join in, you should rest assured that you have a hand that can win in the end.

If the visible cards of an opponent beat your entire hand, it's best to throw yourself.

If you try to get straight, see if the other players have visible cards that you need, and consider your bid.

If you try to get a flush, check how many non-visible cards are left in the color in question and adjust your strategy accordingly. If you e.g. Trying to get a router flush, and you have four routes while appearing eight other routes, it's just?

The advantage of playing online is that you can write down the cards that the other players have before they throw themselves, and it will help you analyze which hands are still possible. But you have to be fast, as slow games will quickly cause players to leave your table.

This is a patience game, so you have to be prepared to wait until you get good cards before you bid a lot.
