Cut throat is the opposite. Terrebonne Parrish = cutthroat. Don't have to follow suit. Everywhere else is no cutthroat.
I'm pretty sure it's just Terrebonne and Lafourche that even play Pedro. So if by everywhere else you mean Lafourche, you would be correct. Like others have said, you want to follow suit, play spades.

Hahnville is in st Charles Parrish and they had it as an elective in HS. Assumption has a few pedro players too. That's 3 to 1

When you draw cards minimum bid is 7 for everyone.
When playing with a verb minimum bid is 8 for everyone.
The best is 6 man pedro and the minimum bid is 10, play to 100. $10 and $5.
But the best game is low ball without question. $5 and $10.

Obviously other places have people that play, but not in the numbers of those two parishes and not ones that hold on to "their" set of rules the way they do.

There are actually 2 different games.
In "Pedro" you have to follow suit.
When playing "Faggy cut-throat rimjob time" you dont have to follow suit.
I play Pedro.

Force 6 should only be allowed if there's beginners at the table.
I've played both ways for years, prefer cut throat, but I'm a Terrebonne Parish boy
You follow suite guys do realize you still have to protect the Pedro on off rounds in cut throat? Point cards too for that matter
I agree though that Pedro is the greatest card game on earth

That's a weak fricking argument. But I wouldn't expect anything more from a cut throat Pedro player.

I said play spades because you don't have to think. It's easy when you play cut throat

The way my dad always played was that the 2,3, and 4 trump cards beat the off suit pedro. Anyone else play it that way or is that an old timer thing? 
Posted on 5/2/14 at 6:31 am to Cleanmatt
never but can see how someone started that. the 3 and 4 are almost useless unless you are holding out to drop your pedro

All of this bullshite about following suit upsets me. I've got no problem playing by those dumb rules, but don't act like you're some sophisticated Pedro player because you follow suit. Hell, the very nature of the game prevents anyone who is sophisticated from even playing.
On a serious note, there is no extra strategy or thinking involved in following suit. It is a game of pure luck on those off cards. Hell, you can argue that cut throat involves more strategy as to whether or not you should cover on each off card.

How is the game easier? There's strategy involved in going off/protecting against pedros or other point cards, etc. You have to make educated guesses as to how many and what cards other players are holding. How is it more skill to be forced to play a certain suit of off-card just because you happened to have them in your hand. Off-cards should all be equally worthless.
Playing follow suit is just extra protection for the bidding team in the event the dealer wants to lead an off card. If the dealer leads off and you have a pedro in your hand, but you happen to have one in the same suit as the dealer, you can't try to run your pedro?
fricking weak.

Exactly. All it does is force people to out of hands because they didn't catch the same off card as someone. It makes it easier to determine who has point cards when it's all said and done. Follow suit makes the game easier.

I completely disagree. When you're not force to follow suit, there's basically no other option than the cover at all times unless you know exactly what the player after you has in his/her hand.

You can pay attention to what that person played before. You cover if there is the possibilty that they have the card, but if they did not play the point in a previous play, you notice that and don't have to cover. You pay attention to what's been played, plus you have to pay attention to what the person did not play. That's the strategy.

I didn't think this would go this long.
bottom line is we love some pedro

Don't bother trying to educate theses cut throat idiots. They tarnish the greatest game ever and should be taken out back and shot.
