Not completely sure of the question.....do you mean 3 of a kind already melded? If so, yes for a 2-0-2 or 2-0-1 set, unless the pile has been frozen.



depends

frozen pile no, if player did not go out not frozen yes, I think GC has it set up where u cnnot break rules, but I think Stage answered this for you and has not been posted yet. I just tried to see if I get it right. LOL duddle

Pile can not be exhausted without a pile war .... (i guess!) So, pile is frozen and NO, players can't pick up pile without a pair in hand.

Yes pile was frozen ,yes it had been a pile war. I had thrown away 3 sixes perviously and other player had 3 already laid down on table so it was the 7th - six thrown as last card Game was 2-2-2- 3f/w I didnt know it was possible but player did pu pile to my amazement How could that be ????????? or how could it be done ???????? real strange

I think you need to do a 'contact us' detailing this. I don't understand how it could have happened.
