What to Do With a Dummy Hand

A dummy hand has no realistic pure sequence. Scattered suits, no connectors, high cards everywhere. The correct play is a first drop, not hope.

SignNo 3-card same-suit run path.
ActionFirst drop.
WrongPicking once 'to see'.

How to spot it

After the deal, sort by suit. If no suit has two near cards, and jokers are zero, you are dummy. Middle drop later is more expensive.

If you already picked

Now it is middle drop math. Count the loose face cards. If they already beat middle-drop cost, stay only if a pure run appeared.

Ego

Playing dummy hands 'because maybe' is how a new bankroll dies. Drop numbers exist for this.
