DISCARDING BY THE DEALER
The discard offers fewer difficulties to the dealer whose two hands reveal the suit that should be protected, and show the cards that can be conveniently spared.
In a “no-trump” hand it is especially necessary to guard all weak suits; not forgetting that a four-card suit to the ten will often block the opponent’s lead.
The second suit that they will open is often shown by the adversary’s discards; and this, too, will aid you to prepare a proper defence.
When you hold trump strength discard losing cards from one hand on winning ones in the other.
At times it may be necessary to discard high cards to unblock a suit and to protect honours in another suit.
In discarding endeavour to conceal both your weakness and your strength; you may often mislead your opponents and tempt them to lead to your strong suit.
