Misers in boston

Misers are known to consist of the lowest cards. Honors in Misers have no significance, besides they are dangerous, because the player may be forced to take a trick and give a remise.

Two, tree and five in misers support the player, so they are considered honors.

There is no threat for the player playing miser to have genuine honors (the ace, king and queen) if he has four or five lower cards.

Nine, six, four, tree and two may cause miser even if the player has four honors of the same suit.

The partner should move with medium cards: jack, ten, nine and eight. The opponent sitting "at hand" must move with the lower ones: six, five, and four.

If the player declared a renounce, the opponents should be careful with the suit.

In case of renounce players try to get rid of the lowest cards and make a new renounce.

The opponent moving after the player must continue to follow suit till the player run short of such cards.
