Using elimination plays makes you a better player. But in Bridge, no matter how skillful you are,
there will always be a luck factor.
Here you were lucky the defense didn't start by taking their three ♠s. If they had, you would not have been able to pull off the throw-in, and would have had to try your luck with guessing who had the ♣Q. Deal 5 |
