Deal 7     6♥ OL: ♦J	♠ A K 9 4 ♥ K Q 6 ♦ A Q 4 ♣ 10 8 6		Play the ♣2. You have a full count on South's hand. He started with 2 ♠s, 7 ♥s, and no ♦s. His other 4 cards must have been ♣s, and he has discarded 2 of them. So he has 2 ♣s left in his hand. If one of them is the ♣K and you play your ♣A then you have handed him the contract. By playing low you give him a guess to make. If he plays the ♣K he will make the contract, but if he plays the ♣J he will go down. He will probably play the ♣J, figuring you woudn't have the nerve to duck with the ♣A. He'll know better next time he plays against you.  Deal 8
