♠ 4 3 ♥ 7 5 2 ♦ A 6 5 3 ♣ J 10 9 5 |
South is to play 4♠. West leads the ♦K.
Losers: ♠ = 1 ♥ = 1 ♦ = 1 ♣ = 1 Total = 4 West has made another great lead. Any other suit would have given you a free finesse. You should duck the first ♦. It is very possible that West has led from ♦ K Q 10 and will be afraid to continue for fear you have the ♦J in your hand. You'd be very happy to see him switch to any other suit. But he doesn't, he continues with the ♦Q which you take with dummy's ♦A. Click NEXT . |

But he doesn't, he continues with the ♦Q which you take with dummy's ♦A. You are in dummy for the first, last, and only time. You need to try a finesse right now, but which one? At first you might think it makes no difference but, in fact, there is only one reasonable choice. If you finesse the ♠K successfully you may still have a ♠ loser. If you finesse the ♥K successfully you will surely still have a ♥ loser. But if you finesse the ♣K successfully you will eliminate your ♣ loser. Click NEXT for the complete Deal. |
