Pinochle over; my team won three out of four games.
Single deck or double?

Double deck, of course.
"Of course" only if you play with the Ladies Auxiliary - or Navy snipes.

I learned double deck at the age of 8, outside of Annapolis at my great aunt and uncle's house. This continued to our relatives' house in Baltimore. By the time I was twelve, an Air Force couple had moved into the nike site next to our church and they were double deck players; our families would get together every weekend to play all-nighters. I was the fill-in for naps, snacks and the like.
So, maybe not snipes, but military-oriented teachers all taught me what I know.
I know that I'm not a big fan of Cut-throat pinochle. . .
