How to Reduce Points Fast

Reducing points is the job when you will not win this hand. Park any legal group. Throw remaining 10s. If the leftover count is still above a middle drop, drop.

ParkAny valid set or run.
ThrowLoose face cards.
ExitDrop if still high.

Any group is a bunker

A 2-3-4 of clubs is 9 pips that no longer dump, even if it is not your favourite story. Take the bunker.

Do not chase a glamorous set

Waiting for the fourth king while you hold 40 dead is the opposite of reducing.

Know the number

Count the hand after each throw. The number decides stay vs drop, not hope.
