Inspired by the Double Aces Around Bid thread. Here are some snippets from the thread:
Quote: When I was researching bidding I found enough resources and opinions of players to realize that the majority of players view 59 as a double aces bid as long as it is the next bid after a previous bid of 55/56 or lower.
Quote: if the bidding gets to 56 or 57, the 59 bid is NOT double aces. It does show meld.
Quote:Double aces comes up maybe once in 500 hands.
Quote: My family games don't have a 59 Double Aces bid, so for me, this was a brand new thing to learn.
