Deal 20 6♠ OL: ♦Q |
♠ 8 ♥ A K 8 6 5 4 3 ♦ 8 5 4 ♣ Q 3 |
South is to play 6♠. West leads the ♦Q.
Losers: ♠ = 0 ♥ = 0 ♦ = 2 ♣ = 1 Total = 3 OK, the plan is to get over to dummy for those two ♥ winners. If you just play a small ♣ toward the ♣Q that will work whenever West holds the ♣K. How about playing ♣A an a small ♣, planning on ruffing your third ♣ to get to dummy? Naaah. They will win the second ♣ and play a trump. There is actually a play that is 100% certain, no matter who holds the ♣K. Click NEXT . |

There is actually a play that is 100% certain, no matter who holds the ♣K. Win the opening lead and lay down your ♣J. The defense is helpless. If they take the ♣J with the ♣K, then you have a dummy entry in the form of the ♣Q. If they refuse to take the trick you will counter by next laying down the ♣A, then ruffing a third ♣ to get to dummy and the two golden eggs. Click NEXT to see the complete Deal. |

The first time I ever saw this type of play in a book I fell in love with it.
My dream is that someday I will get a chance to use it at the table. If you ever do be sure and email me. Back to Lesson |
