28: Look for Points Inside the Trick
In 28, a jack scores three, a nine two, and an ace or ten one. A trick holding J♦, 9♦, K♦ and 7♦ is worth five points, not four for its four cards.

When choosing where to spend a strong trump, compare the points exposed with the strength needed later. Winning a low-value trick may gain the lead, but it should not be mistaken for completing a large part of the contract.
