even tho this is a old thread[quite old] all the info ross gave is excellent.

 what you and your partner deceide to play and in whch order is primary.

i find that newer players if they just play standard  leads/discards ,were ahead of the game.

     took me awhile to understand attitude/count ,so not surprising when a new player doesnt know.

        i have 4 books on leads/discards,and basically they all give this same information.........
