♠ 6 3 ♥ A J 3 ♦ K 5 2 ♣ K Q J 6 2 |
Play the ♦10, NOT another ♠.
You can see the ♠6, ♠5, ♠4, ♠3 and ♠2. So the ♠7 is East's lowest ♠, he is doing his best to discourage you from leading the suit again. South held up with ♠ A J x, hoping you would play the suit again and give him two tricks. If you play the ♦10 East will win the ♦A and return a ♠, allowing you to drive out South's ♠A while you still have the ♣A for an entry. Deal 2 |
