Good defenders make use of numerous tactics to ensure they take all their tricks. Top among the favorites include:
1. Opening Leads -- For better or worse, the opening lead often determines the outcome of the hand. And while no one always makes perfect leads, the players who make the best lead most of the time score more tricks in the long run.
2. Third Hand Play: Signals -- After partner has led, in third seat there's far more to the game than remembering the general axiom "third hand -- high." Aside from the third hand's duty to immediately take tricks, good players always strive to effectively communicate various signals with their partner using an assortments of signals depending on the situation at hand.
3. Playing on Opponents Lead: Possible Signals - Even when the opponents have lead, in either second or fourth seat on occasion we have the opportunity to communicate with partner using signals.
4. Inferences: Bidding, Play, Hand Evaluation -- Entire Bridge libraries have been written about the plethora of logical deductions associated with evaluating one's assets and deducing other players cards (honors and length) based on everyone's bidding and play.
