I play in 3NT after a Stayman bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I receive the favourable lead of the &#x2665;K placing &#x2665;KQ10 with my LHO. I have five certain and immediate tricks (2&#x2660;+1&#x2665;+2&#x2663;). Three suits can bring me two extra tricks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>My &#x2663; length if the &#x2663; are breaking 3-3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The &#x2666; if the finesse against the &#x2666;J is successful (&#x2666;x to the &#x2666;10).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The &#x2665; thanks to the known winning finesses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You must start working on the &#x2665;. If I make use of my &#x2663; length, I am dependent on a hazardous 3-3 break and the &#x2663; blockage obliges me to use all my entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I take the &#x2665;K with the &#x2665;A and return &#x2665;x. The opening leader rises with the &#x2665;Q and persists in &#x2665; to dummy\u2019s &#x2665;9. My RHO discards the &#x2663;2 and then the &#x2666;8. And here I am with seven certain tricks. How can I find the missing tricks? Analysing the opponents\u2019 discards gives me the solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#x2663;2 is probably discarded from a 5-card holding. With her singleton in &#x2665;, Argine often has a 5431 distribution. She often discards in her 5-card suit as it is less risky and she doesn\u2019t want to be weakened in more fragile suits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-0712ab4\" data-block-id=\"0712ab4\"><style>.stk-0712ab4{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-stackable-blockquote stk-block-blockquote stk-block stk-5bdbc52 is-style-highlighted\" data-v=\"2\" data-block-id=\"5bdbc52\"><style>.stk-5bdbc52{box-shadow:0 5px 5px 0 rgba(18,63,82,0.035) !important}<\/style><div class=\"has-text-align-left stk-block-blockquote__content stk-container stk-5bdbc52-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-43290fa\" data-block-id=\"43290fa\"><style>.stk-43290fa{box-shadow:0 5px 5px 0 rgba(18,63,82,0.035) !important}.stk-43290fa .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child,.stk-43290fa .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g,path,rect,polygon,ellipse){fill:#2793f2 !important}<\/style><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-43290fa\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-43290-fa-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-43290-fa-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"info\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-info fa-w-6\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M20 424.229h20V279.771H20c-11.046 0-20-8.954-20-20V212c0-11.046 8.954-20 20-20h112c11.046 0 20 8.954 20 20v212.229h20c11.046 0 20 8.954 20 20V492c0 11.046-8.954 20-20 20H20c-11.046 0-20-8.954-20-20v-47.771c0-11.046 8.954-20 20-20zM96 0C56.235 0 24 32.235 24 72s32.235 72 72 72 72-32.235 72-72S135.764 0 96 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-6b48a24\" data-block-id=\"6b48a24\"><style>.stk-6b48a24 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-6b48a24 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\"><strong><strong>Remember:<\/strong> <\/strong>Opponents often discard in a 5-card suit or longer first.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#x2666;8 (second discard) is probably discarded from a 4-card holding.

Argine seems to find discarding awkward, so I decide to drive the point home and I cash the &#x2665;J to oblige Argine to discard again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third discard of the &#x2666;7 confirms my suspicions. I play the &#x2666;Q, my &#x2666; finally get established and the &#x2666;6 gives me my ninth trick! The defence takes two tricks in &#x2665; and two in &#x2666;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opposite the opening leader, Argine kept the &#x2663;, &#x2660; and &#x2666; and got weaker after each discard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of you went down in 3NT.

Given my strong holding with &#x2663; as trumps and the possibility of defending in &#x2660; to oblige my opponents to ruff, I don\u2019t need much in my partner\u2019s hand to defeat the contract by one trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The danger is that my partner holds a very weak hand. 3&#x2663; may not go off. In the end, this is my partner\u2019s &#x2665;J that takes the contract down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The double is worth <strong>90%<\/strong>, passing 3&#x2663; <strong>30%<\/strong>.
