ORIGINAL TRUMP OPENINGS FROM STRENGTH

It is advisable to lead trumps from strength in comparatively few

hands, for the reason that the lead indicates to the dealer the

position of the trump strength held against him. If, however, you

hold four or five trumps without an honour, and combinations in the

plain suits from which you do not wish to lead, the trump may be led

through the strong hand. This is especially true of a four-trump

hand, which contains three cards of each of the other suits.

Avoid opening the trump from strength when you hold a single honour,

or even two honours. You will gain, by waiting for the lead to come

to you.
