Deal 6     4♥ OL: ♠A	♠ J 6 4 2 ♥ J 6 3 ♦ A J 6 ♣ 10 7 3		You know that both East and South are now void of ♠s. You might just switch suits, but you have a better choice. If you play your ♠Q, East won't bother ruffing, South WILL ruff and dummy's ♠J will be established as a winner. The best procedure is to lead a low ♠. East will ruff and South will over-ruff but by playing this way you stop the establishment of North's ♠J. As you can see, South would have been able to discard a loser on that ♠J if you hadn't played this way.  Deal 7
