Defensive Signals

Upside Down count and attitude, standard on king lead vs. suits at trick one. Odd Even first discard. Suit preference vs. cash of dummy's singleton or Kx at trick one. Attitude first, then count, then suit preference. Since Laws require playing a card to every trick, not all of them have meaning.
