  Stripped deck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This kind of deck is used in certain poker variants, and the cards that are removed are usually low-ranking ones.
Finally, the relative frequency of straights versus three of a kind is also sensitive the deck composition (and to the number of cards dealt), so some places may play that trips beat a straight, but the difference is small enough that this complication isn't necessary for most games.
It should be noted that stripped deck five-card stud is a game particularly well-suited to cheating by collusion, because it is easy for partners to signal a single hole card and the relative value of knowing the location of a single card is higher than with a full deck.

 Rules of Card Games: Pinochle
When four cards have been played to the trick, the highest-ranking card of trump - or, if there is no trump in the trick, the highest-ranking card of the suit led - wins the trick.
The only case in which you are allowed to throw a card of a non-trump suit different from the led suit is when you have no cards of the suit led and no trumps.
For example, if the non-trump lead has already been trumped, and you have cards in the suit led, you cannot beat the trump that is currently winning the trick (since you have to follow suit), so you may play any card of the suit that was led.
