You are West. The bidding has been as shown. You lead the ♥J, covered by dummy's ♥Q and won by East's ♥K. East wins the ♥A at the second trick and continues with a small ♥ ruffed by South. South then plays the ♠4 from his hand. Do you play low? or play the ♠J to force dummy's ♠A? When you have made your choice click NEXT . |

Play the ♠3.
If South decides to finesse the ♠10 then you will still win the one ♠ trick which you are entitled to win. However, with South holding the ♠Q it would be very logical for him to go up with the ♠A then lead back toward his ♠Q, playing East for the ♠K. If he plays this way you will get two tricks and defeat the contract. Deal 5 |
