How to Count & Track High Cards

Video Transcript

"The importance of counting and tracking high cards. I can not emphasize as I did in the other sequence about spades. How absolutely it is important and even more so in hearts. In spades you can get away with it. You can get away with, if you forgot if the queen of diamonds was good or you run three rounds of diamonds and maybe you take a few bags. You will not get away with that stuff in hearts. If you lead the thirteenth diamond and the queen of spades is still out, you will get absolutely blasted. Unless, you know you're losing the game and they might want to keep you in for a reason. It is so important to track which high cards have been played. If an ace and a king have gone through on an off suit. An off suit is either diamonds or clubs. Then the queen of that off suit is just as dangerous as if you had the ace. Same thing with the thirteenth card. You must count, and if you're going to count any suit, you have to count the heart suit, and you really, if you have the queen in your hand you have to count the spade suit. It's really essential. So track the high cards. Count everything, and don't get stuck on lead, having to lead the thirteenth card of a suit. Once you do that your game will improve."
