By OBSERVING what your opponent is discarding and which of your discards he/she is drawing, you can DEDUCE the structure of his hand on the assumption that he is either making the best moves or acting in accordance with a personal style of play to which you have become accustomed. You should also REMEMBER the cards that have been discarded as well as the changes in your opponent's hand as the play unfolds.
