South plays 4♥. West leads ♠A, then ♥8.
Losers: ♠ 2 : ♥ 1 : ♦ 0 : ♣ 1 : Total = 4 You've already lost 1 ♠, you can't escape the ♣ and it looks like the ♥ is unavoidable also. So that means you can't afford to lose that second ♠. If you play dummy's ♥4 East will win the ♥K and play another ♥. You will lose that second ♠ and go down 1. Instead you should rise with dummy's ♥A, play ♦A, ♦K and then a small ♦ which you ruff. Now play your ♠9 and ruff with dummy's last trump. Click NEXT for the full deal. |

Usually it is a good play to let a lead come up to your Queen. It's like a free finesse.
But you don't want to get into the habit of doing what is USUALLY good without thinking through the consequences. Deal 99 |
