What discards tell you
Every discard is information. Learn to read it.
WHAT OPPONENTS DISCARD MEANS:
Early discards of honors:
• They don't want All Honors
• Those dragons might be safe later
Discarding 5s, 6s early:
• They might be going for All Terminals
• Or they have a specific plan
Holding onto terminals:
• They might be building All Terminals
• Or need them for a mixed hand
• BE CAREFUL discarding terminals
Holding honors but discarding suits:
• Possible All Honors hand!
• Don't discard honors to them
Multiple discards from same suit:
• They're not collecting that suit
• That suit is 'safe' to discard
Watch patterns. Information wins games.
