Hi--I think complaining to Congress--the UN--or anyone else of this ilk about Yahoo and its cheaters is a great idea--I am pretty sure they are in need of...

Well, let's not all respond at once! I would have gone alone at that score if I was feelin' good. But if I had "assisted," as Ace did, I would have played it...
Your p orders the 9c to you. You now hold JJ9c, AKd. Your partner has 3 clubs, so it is a reasonable order. 1st seat leads a heart. Your p trumps with the q,...
The nine of clubs. You don't know that your partner has the ace of clubs; therefore you cannot play a bower and lead the nine. You cannot play the ace or king...
... Hi Julie, Obviously, when you can be sure your partner has three trump to order up the 9 lacking a bower, it would be crazy not to overtake the Qc with one...
I agree with Tom. I'd play the Ace. If my p doesn't lead trump back, then he obviously is not a member of this group and I won't be playing with him again any...

I can't count the number of times I have a holding like JJ9, AK; and discard the A trick 1; and P will lead the suit of my K, letting it get ruffed. If you...
Hi Tom, ... I'd expect trump to be lead back, anyway. No bowers in hand? If he has 2-trump, he'll have suit aces. If he has 3 trump, he needs to fish out...
Hi Joe, ... That would be my concern. If I knew my P would lead trump, I wouldn't sweat it -- I think either 9c or Ad would work. But if I didn't know my P...
... Hi Rob, Expecting or hoping for a trump lead when 4th hand wants to demand a trump lead isn't good enough. The better the trump holding 4th has and thus...
Hi Ace, I agree with your point, but in this specific case, I think it applies very little if at all. Playing bower-bower here can fail only if one opponent...
Hi Tom, ... True, but the question is whether or not 2nd will properly interpret your demand. If he's sharp enough to do that, he probably wouldn't order with...
Ok, I get it now; sorry. The most trump your partner could have, ordering the nine to your two bowers IF the opponents have two trump, is A-Q. It was not...
... In my original message #2403 I advocated playing bower-bower unless you are fortunate enough to be playing with a partner who knows that the discard of a...
Hi Tom, ... Yes. I was agreeing with you. ... What am I smoking? Let me answer that by asking: what are you reading? Notice I said "on another hand." I was...
Hi Natty, ... Yes, that's what I was talking about. ... I think this was Ace's point, but I would not be insulted. If you (as my P) want to drive the car...
Hi Ace, ... There is no sure way to play out this hand for two points. It all depends on who holds what. That said, the most favorable play is the one that...
Hi Ace, ... We hope. ;) Point taken. ... True. ... True. But this is the real danger with this hand. ... The diamond void is irrelevant. If either opp...
Hi Ace, ... Notice I said I would not *order*. But given the chance, would I name trump the second time around? In a heartbeat -- even if my AQ suit was the...
