Your opponent leads the 8♣. You must follow suit. In your hand sits the 9♣; on your visible Strawman pile sits the 10♣. Both beat the 8♣.
Which do you play?

Answer
The 10♣ from the pile. Neither card carries a single Card Point, so it costs you nothing to let either win. Spending the public one flips a fresh card underneath it, maybe a Tarok or King heading straight into your hand, so when the price is equal, always feed the table’s card into the trick first.
