Another situation is when East leads low to the table, you should play your highest so you can cover or overtake your partner's bag and lead low back to East. Now you have a book or high cards to overtake your partner's high cards. The exception is if your partner leads a low card to you, you should also duck and hope the opps take the bag and lead the suit again. Lead your highest cards first, then your lowest near the end of your suit.
I'll add something here about playing the hand. The opps will still have 9 bags next hand and will be down in points while we have zero bags. I would always play to set the opps even if it means we're guaranteed to get the extra bag and lose 100 points. (Queens are less than a 50/50 in the best case scenario). I also personally wouldn't overbid in these situations to minimize bags i.e by counting queens and other low honors because it may push the table bid to 12+, now you're playing not to get set with very speculative cards. If I have 2 spades or less I discount one of my books by one, unless I can see that my partner is the one holding most of the spades. Also take into account the number of spades you have in your hand too. Here's a previous thread that you might find helpful to help you formulate your bids based on your number of cards in a suit. If they don’t fall in the trap, I can easily adjust my hand to play to bag. In this case I might see value in bidding 2 hoping I entice the 4th position to round up their bid, than plat for set. Say I am 3rd to bid and I have a 3 bid but flexibility to have option to take 5+ with a good break or take 2 or less if playing to avoid bags. I also like using flex hand bidding like what I might call a semi-bluff in poker. Often when we are 1/2 or 1/1 bids on a table total bid of 10 or lower, I will throw caution to the wind and accept a worst case scenario of being set and giving 4+ bags rather than securing my bid early making our team vulnerable to latent bags. I think this is less about math and more about recognizing situations where the strategy is practical as well as the type of hand layouts and bid layouts that make for a good opportunity.Īnother consideration is when to take a kamikaze approach. This may be when defending against an opponent NIL or maybe the opponents are at 5 bags and 350ish points in a 500 point game and I have a hand that is well suited for giving bags. Once the cards are dealt, players must decide. In Spades free, the game starts with the dealer dealing the cards in a clockwise order.

However there are plenty of times where I will intentionally bid soft to induce a bad attack. Spades card game for free is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a fun and engaging offline game that wont break the bank. Generally if both teams have 9 bags I am playing to set as opponents tend to be more vulnerable in these situations. Some players even frown upon bidding nil with the Q (or even J) of spades in all but the most dire of circumstances.
