Analysis by Crapstorm

The player to your left only needs a solid 3 to bid for game. Given that you don't have any power cards, he likely has it. The only course of action here is to outbid them with a Nil. Sure, it's a long shot (maybe 25-30% probable), but it's the only shot you have. Any other bid allows your opponents to casually stroll past the finish line. At least make them sweat a little.
