Here is another situation that has happened to me more than once:
The opposing team either orders up or calls a suit in which I have
both bowers on defense. This happens more often than not, especially
when I'm in first seat since I would usually pass and "bag."
What do I do now? Is this a good time to lead trump on defense?
If I had a side ace and I am at first chair, I would usually lay the
bowers down and then run the ace. However, it is a much tougher
question for me when I am no on first chair, or if I don't have an ace
to establish.
For the sake of discussion, here is a more specific situation:
You are sitting at first chair holding both bowers and three losers
(full suited). The dealer picked up a low trump (say a queen). Would
this be a time to lead trump on defense?
