Deal 9     3NT OL: ♥4	♠ A K ♥ 10 9 7 ♦ 10 9 6 3 ♣ K Q 8 5		Play the ♦A. You don't have much in your hand, but you do have the ♦A, and you also have the responsibility to help West set up his suit. So even though you don't know for sure how good that suit is, your plan of action should be to take the ♦A and return a ♥. As you see, this will defeat the contract. Had you played a low ♦ South would have pocketed that trick and added 4 ♣s and 3 ♠s to go with the ♥ he had already won.  Deal 10
