When to use and not to use blue cards

[JayjayBerger]

So many players play blue cards as soon as they get them. It's bad, it's like playing with an open hand for your opponents! They know if you're strong or weak, which card to take with a panic or to cat ballou. You should play your blue cards :
- immediately if they're defensive cards (mustang, barrel)
- if you have too many cards in your hands, it's better obviously than to discard them or other good cards
- if you can use them immediately (volcanic, long range weapon...)
Otherwise, keep them hidden in your hands until you actually need them!

I totally agree. For example, it is better to end the turn with a missed card and a weapon than to equip the weapon (even if you don't have bangs or you are not going to shoot) if someone uses panic against you, better to lose a useless weapon than a missed card, and be exposed to losing a life easily...
