Deal      4♥ OL: ♦A	♠ 8 6 2 ♥ A ♦ 9 7 ♣ 8 5 3 2		South is to play 4♥. West leads the ♦A. The defenders take two ♦ tricks, then switch to a trump. Losers:   ♠ = 0   ♥ = 0   ♦ = 2   ♣ = 2   Total = 4 The status is pretty clear, you've already lost the 2 ♦s so you have to keep your ♣ losers to just one. You have a good chance of pulling that off by playing for the ♣K and ♣Q to lie in different hands and taking two finesses. But you will only be in dummy once more so you MUST make the first finesse right now. Play a small ♣ from dummy and play the ♣10. West wins with the ♣Q and plays another trump. Click NEXT .

Deal      4♥ OL: ♦A	♠ 8 6 2 ♥ A Q ♦ 9 7 5 4 ♣ 8 5 3 2		This Deal is an excellent example of how and when to use the Double-Finesse, which gives you a 75% chance of success. It was probably a better example of watching your entries. If you had pulled another trump before taking that first ♣ finesse you would not have been able to take the second one.  Deal 11
