Remember

⇒ Complete sequence – 3 out 5 touching high cards: AKQ, KQJ, QJ10, J109

⇒ Broken sequence – 3 high cards, first two are touching and we have a gap betweek the next one: AKJ, AK10, KQ10, QJ9

⇒ Inner seuence – 3 high cards, the gap is after the highest card: AQJ, AJ10, KJ10, Q109

⇒ Partial sequence – 2 touching cards: AK, KQ, QJ, J10

⇒ No sequence – 2 top cards that are not touching: AQ, AJ, A10 – avoid leading from those; KJ, K10, Q10 – lead a low card if you want to lead it.

⇒ No sequence – 1 top card – do not lead an honor, lead a low card: Axx(xx), Kxx(xx), Qxx(xx)

⇒ No sequence – no or low honors – lead differently than if you have an honor: Jx(xxx), 10x(xxx), xx(xxx)
