• Take the losses early.
• Play the high card from the short

• Keep a winner with the long suit.
• Get rid of a high card (unblock)
and keep a low card when it is
necessary to keep a link card to
partner’s suit.
3. Use the Rule of Eleven
• When partner leads fourth highest,
subtract the pips from eleven. That

hands higher than the one led.
4. Return Partner’s Lead
• With no clear-cut alternative,
return the suit led by partner. The
defenders must work together to
take tricks.
