The bid needs to start from the person on the left of the dealer. The players can bid two, three, four or just pass. Your bid needs to be more than the bid of the person before you. Here winning the bid means bidding the most so the player with the highest bid wins. In case no one bids then the dealer has to bid. There is a coke hand in this game which means that you can in fact turn in a new hand instead of bidding.
