One worked example — read this before you start
A player throws, in order, 1-crak, 3-crak, 5-crak, 7-crak and 9-crak. They kept every even crak they drew.
That player's discards
- Read the gaps, not the keeps. Throwing every odd crak is a statement that odd craks have no place in this hand. The evens may or may not be wanted — but the odds are out.
- Don't over-read a keep. "They threw the odds, so they must want the evens" is a leap. The honest read is narrower: odd craks are unwanted. Everything else waits for more evidence.
- Use it on defense. If you later hold an odd crak, it is a relaxed throw against this player. The even craks stay on your no-throw list until proven otherwise.
The lesson: a discard tells you what a player is not doing far more reliably than what they are. Start every read from the negatives.
