... that the card game of pollack is named after a bonus for holding the three top cards – the Ten, Nine and Ace – of one suit? Source: "Ist gegeben, so darf der, welcher die Vorhand hat, ansagen, noch ehe er ausgespielt hat; die Uebrigen dürfen erst dann ansagen, wenn sie oder ihr Partner einen gemacht haben. Angesagt wird: … Für Zehne, Neune und As von gleicher Farbe, was man einen Pollack nennt – 3" (von Alvensleben, L. (1853). Encyclopädie der Spiele: enthaltend alle bekannten Karten-, Bret-, Kegel-, Billard-, Ball-, Würfel-Spiele und Schach. Otto Wigand, Leipzig. pp. 397-399)
Overall: While the hook is there, is correct, and is properly cited, I still haven't got a clue as to why the game is called Pollack Hawkeye7(discuss) 02:34, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
