The absence of a sixth <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span> is compensated for by the suit quality, the two-suited distribution and the favourable vulnerability. My partner signed off in 3NT and I received the lead of the <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I applied the Rule of 11: I could see 3 cards higher than the <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>7. 11 &#8211; (7+3) = 1. Therefore, there was only one card higher than the <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>7 with the opening leader&#8217;s partner. That card could not be the <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>K, or East would have led the <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>J with <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>J108. I therefore put in the <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>Q from the dummy, which won the first trick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span> were my best source of tricks. Problem: if I cashed the<span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\"> &#x2663;<\/span>AKQ and they were not breaking 3-3, the hand would become dire. I would not establish my <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span> and would no longer have any communications with the dummy. And if I started by ducking a round of <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>, I would lose a trick in cases where they were breaking 3-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to play for time by running the <span style=\"color: #ee0707;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span>J to East&#8217;s <span style=\"color: #ee0707;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span>Q; he returned the <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>K. West discarded the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>4. The <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span> were breaking badly, 6-1, which reduced the likelihood of a favourable <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span> break. I allowed the <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>K to hold, a variant of the &#8220;Bath Coup&#8221;. Thanks to my <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>A9 tenace, East could not continue in <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>. He could not play another <span style=\"color: #ee0707;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span> either without risking giving me the <span style=\"color: #ee0707;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span>10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>East switched to the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>2. This seemed to confirm the bad <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span> break. If the suit were breaking well, the defence would look for luck elsewhere. I played for time once again by giving up the lead to the opening leader in <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>. I would finish off by establishing a <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span> from length for one down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going down one was rewarding: <strong>I scored 78%. <\/strong>Many of you hurried to cash the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>AKQ and went down two. On this deal, <strong>it was better not to put all your eggs in one basket!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-b1181aa\" data-block-id=\"b1181aa\"><style>.stk-b1181aa{height:20px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000fc;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Second deal: Stay awake<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"538\" height=\"766\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-235.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-89416\" style=\"width:583px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-235.png 538w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-235-211x300.png 211w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This was the eighth deal in my tournament. The tournament was going badly and this deal seemed to me to be trivial, no points of interest; I just wanted to play the thing quickly, without suspecting that I would be making a most beautiful play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should clearly play on the <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span> by taking a double finesse and take the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span> finesse. The <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>2 lead showed that the opening leader only had 4 cards in <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>, so there would be no point in ducking for the moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, I should start with my length in <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>, the length making it the suit with the greatest potential for success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I decided to cross to the dummy in <span style=\"color: #ee0707;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span> to start with the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span> finesse by playing a <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span> towards the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>Q. If that finesse worked, I would be able to continue by establishing the <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>; if it failed, I would have taken out the opening leader&#8217;s <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>K entry, which would prevent him from being able to cash his <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span> length later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-5af4a7c\" data-block-id=\"5af4a7c\"><style>.stk-5af4a7c{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>Remember: <\/strong>In a 3NT contract, starting by taking out a potential entry to the opening leader&#8217;s hand is often winning. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>Q held and I ran the <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>J to East&#8217;s <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>Q.
