Take up three trumps. right and ace. right and king right and queen. right and another, and one suit. right, another, and outside ace. left, ace, and outside ace. left, another, outside ace; and king, queen of the third suit. ace, king, and one suit headed by ace; dependent upon score. two trumps and two aces. With the score at four-all or four-love in his favor, the dealer may play a lighter hand than any mentioned above, especially if it is his best. Scores of three-all and four to two in dealer's favor require more than ordinary caution. With score four to three in dealer's favor he may play a shade lighter than ordinary.

Always be careful how you play your small cards, and never play false cards. If the dealer adopts the turn-up, he should discard the lowest card of a short suit; for example, with three trumps, ace, seven of one suit, and outside king, discard the king. Some prefer to keep the king with score four-all with only two trumps in the hand. With two trumps (clubs), ace, seven of hearts, and king, seven of diamonds, discard the seven of diamonds. With three trumps (clubs), ace, king of hearts, and ace of diamonds, discard the king of hearts, except when playing a lone hand, in which case discard the ace of diamonds. When your partner assi
