Deal 5     4♥ OL: ♣A	♠ A ♥ K 10 8 2 ♦ A Q 7 3 ♣ J 8 6 2		Play the ♣3. If you signal with the ♣9 West will continue with the ♣K and another which you will have to ruff. You will give up your NATURAL trump trick by doing so. Worse, you will allow North's ♣J to be established as a winner that South can later discard a ♦ on. Much better to play low. Partner will surely switch to a ♦, and South will probably finesse, though it doesn't matter whether he does or not. You will win the ♦K, return the ♣9 back to West's ♣K, and still have your trump trick for later.  Deal 6
