If I'm in 2nd and have ordered up the A while holding a mere RT or R9, I dread a trump (esp K/Q) lead. It's a lot easier to get a point if the A and the 9 can...
Hi Joe, ... Well, your P is just as likely (76%) to have a 2nd trump as either opponent is to have just one. Even of the 1 in 4 times your P is broke, the...

Hi Natty, ... Thoughtful? I guess that leaves me out. ;) ... I can see a spade call. But although it may give you three potential winners, it also gives you...
... I don't think so. ... As I indicated, my brief is not for diamonds; but it argues strongly for not passing. I would like particularly to know what Tom (Ten...
Hi All, There's one play which has always confused me and I'd like to have some response to see how the majority of you play this hand. Let's say you have both...
Hi Patricia, I think it depends on the rank of the card led. If it's an ace, I'll trump it. This reveals your hand to everyone, but on average, your P will...
