tbr Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Isn't it another way of saying "ruff" or "trump?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 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.

gordontd Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 For anyone who can remember a time before computer-dealt boards, you cut the cards after you shuffle and before you deal them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunemPard Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 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." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
