The most obvious strategy is to play low cards, which is all well and good if you have them, but somewhat more difficult when you do not.

A good rule to follow when beginning is to play your high cards on the first lead of a suit and move to your lower cards when the suit is led again.

With each play of a suit it is increasingly likely that one of the other players will be out of that suit and thus able to discard points either hearts or, far worse, the queen of spades.
