If a player reneges in a three player pinochle game, should the other players call his attention to this at the time or wait until the hand is played? I also want to know about the general rules of three player pinochle game as I am new to it. My brother has clarified many of my confusions but I think I need to learn more on this. Please guide!

    Renege in Three Player Pinochle
    When we refer to the term renege, it can be defined as any time a player unintentionally misplays during the play portion. There are several forms of misplay:
     Playing out of match
     Playing out of turn
     Sloughing on a knack when you contain trump in your hand
     Failure to reject 3 cards former to the play piece of the hand - this constitutes a renege if bidder has directed to the first knack
     Intentionally revealing a piece of your hand to some other contestant (during the play time for all players and furthermore throughout the meld part of the hand for non-bidders with the exclusion of meld cards)
     Not being able to kill
     Any other activity that interferes with the harmony of the game.
    Grounds for Renege in Three Player Pinochle
    If the bidder reneges, he inevitably takes a double set and the allowance of his tender or bid is subtracted from his score. The 2-opposing players get to enumerate their meld points and the balance of the hand is hurled in.
    If either of the 2 non-bidders unintentionally misplay, the bidder is technically allowed to make his bid. The bidder gets to tally the allowance of his tender and his meld, the contestant that misplayed misplaces all meld and takes a lone set and the third contestant scores only his meld.
    Exception: Sometimes the renege is not detected until the last card/s has been played. It is important that when tricks are turned, they be kept in order, not mixed at any point. You will never be able to prove your point if this is done.
