Humility is a wonderful thing, but I don't agree with you. With 3 diamonds in his hand and no second round bid, your partner could have ordered at 8-6. Having...
Hi Julie, ... I agree. 1st must be prepared for the contingency that the upcard will get turned down. Unless he plans to name something else, he should ...
Hi Natty, ... Enormous help? Usually, one trick is all that will be needed. ... This reasoning is a bit twisted. You claim he should trust you, but then show...
... It takes three tricks to score. My partner has one sure trick. He has no great likelihood of two. He has no suit aces. I didn't mention that in the...
... I said your partner COULD have ordered. It was a discretionary call at that score. However, I myself probably would have ordered, preferring the three...

Hi Natty, ... Well I didn't say it would be a walk in the park, but AT9 can often take two tricks. Not always, but often. In any event, I like my chances...
The correct answer is "the heart." When I held this hand I was in third, not first. It actually doesn't matter whether first held two hearts or a diamond and a...
It would be nice if problems were stated with all the details - a) Which card did my partner "show out with", a heart? b) Do I hold the "winning" club? c) Are...
What's important here is that you know you do not have any trump and you know your p doesn't. Your only chance of a euchre, slim as it is, is to lead anything...

It appears it's time to review the original scenario: You are in first behind 9-8. A small spade is turned up. Everybody passes and dealer picks it up. You...
Ugh. Who put the extra club in the deck? Ace, Thanks for pointing out my miscount. So, if I tweak the problem, and have 2nd showing out on my club Ace, then...
... So, it comes down to whether you want to force the maker to trump, doesn't it? (And/or, whether you want to entice another trump from the maker's...
... No. If you do have a club winner to cover maker's loser, it will be as good later as it is now (assuming maker ends up with the lead, which is likely...
Not Always. Heart led, 2nd has a winner, Maker (has no heart) and discards his club loser, two tricks later ... ... No. If you do have a club winner to cover...
Ace I'm not following you. Why would a club lead on the third trick (where nobody can follow suit) put second out of the picture for taking the trick? What...
Ace, It's absolutely clear to me - Pat's Poll as stated - that the heart is the correct lead. But it's your reasoning, not Pat's which is at the heart of it. ...
Here's a situation that came up tonight. I'm in 3rd seat with AK10d A10h and the 10 spades turned up. The score is 9-5 with my team in front. I don't have...
... I sure wouldn't. You have a 9-5 lead, a red loner, and a black 10 is turned up. Why on earth would you order? On the outside chance that dealer may have...
