class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span> fit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The opening side held around 20 HCP and the opener was probably very strong since his partner had been unable to respond at the 1-level.

Should we stay there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There would be danger in bidding on: my hand was very average and I would be risking going down at the 3-level. Vulnerable, I might get myself doubled for one down and take a big hit. The prudent thing would therefore be to pass. With only an 8-card fit and flat distribution, we do not venture up to the 3-level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, I would make an exception. I knew my opponents were in a good contract and that I would not score well by allowing them to play in 2<span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>, so I wanted to tempt fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose to bid on with 2NT for a few reasons: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I had stops in the opponents&#8217; suits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2NT= scores 120; better than 3<span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>= which scores 110.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If I went one down in 2NT, 3<span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span> would often be going down too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In NT, I would be playing the hand from my side, so had more chance of receiving a favourable <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span> lead which would allow me to make the <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>K.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But my fears were realised: I got doubled in 2NT.

I knew that Opener would be forced to play &#8220;third hand high&#8221; unless he held AKQ9 in <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opener took the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>Q, then cashed the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>A, which I ruffed. Leader showed the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>5 and then the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>6. I now knew the exact <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span> position. Opener held <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>AKQ without the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>9, otherwise he would have played the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>A or the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>9 on the lead. And the leader held three small <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span> since he gave count upwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also knew that the <span style=\"color: #ee0707;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span> were not breaking 4-1, since both defending players would already have played the singleton <span style=\"color: #ee0707;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ruffing a <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span> loser from my hand with a trump from the dummy is often the best strategy but not here. The <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span> finesse is doomed to failure: the bidding had shown that all the strength was with Opener. There was too much of a risk of getting ruffed in <span style=\"color: #ee0707;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span> or overruffed in <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span> if I gave up the lead to the defence too many times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to push out the <span style=\"color: #ee0707;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span>A immediately. Opener won and played another <span style=\"color: #ee0707;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span> to open up a ruff. I would now need to tackle the trumps. The issue of whether to take an immediate finesse against the <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>J came to mind for several reasons: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When your opponents double a part-score for penalties, the trumps are often breaking badly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opener made a take-out double of <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>, so he could have a singleton.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I would give up on that since it did not stand up. If Opener had 4315 distribution, he would probably have bid on to 3<span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span> rather than doubling me for penalties twice. I tackled the trumps in three rounds and presented the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>J from the dummy as a &#8220;ruffing finesse&#8221;. One of Dummy&#8217;s <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span> honours was established to allow me to discard a <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span> loser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I made 5 tricks in <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>, 3 in <span style=\"color: #ee0707;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span> and 1 in <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3<span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>X= got me 99%!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each one of my unusual actions led me to be the only one of almost a thousand players to play in 3<span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>X=. When that ends up being a top, one feels unique and vindicated. I also know that if the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>9 had been with the opener, I would have gone down and got a zero. I would then have felt like &#8220;the only idiot&#8221;. <strong>Sometimes, just a little detail takes you from glory to ridicule!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In bridge, there is no obligation to follow the system.

West took the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>AQ and played back a <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>. I won with Dummy&#8217;s <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>A, unblocking the <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>J. I ran the <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>9 and the finesse worked. I drew all the trumps and ran the <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span> for 10 tricks. Making 3<span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span> was already excellent but +1 got me a top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-6943e1b\" data-block-id=\"6943e1b\"><style>.stk-6943e1b{height:20px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Third deal: Priority to the natural<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"762\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-248.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-93759\" style=\"width:auto;height:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-248.png 533w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-248-210x300.png 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>I opened with 1<span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>, 2<span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span> overcall and I was in the balancing seat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 options were possible: bidding a natural lower-ranking second suit with 2<span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span> or a take-out double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, one should choose the double for the following reason: your partner might have passed with strong defence to <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span> and he would then have the opportunity to convert your take-out double into penalties. The East-West side would then suffer a big penalty, amplified by the vulnerability, which is unfavourable for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At IMPs, I would have chosen the double to try to get a big score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I had the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>Q, it was less likely that my partner did have a trap pass for <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>. At pairs, I chose the option that would work out well &#8220;the most often&#8221;. A double would cause me problems if my partner bid 2<span style=\"color: #ee0707;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span>. To avoid that, I reopened naturally with 2<span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span> and played in a 2<span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span> contract on the lead of the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>A followed by the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were two tasks on this deal: drawing the trumps and establishing the <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span> length. I decided not to ruff the <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>K and to discard the inevitable <span style=\"color: #ee0707;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span> loser. In aid of establishing the length in <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>, I preferred to save my trumps for later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>West played a small <span style=\"color: var(--paletteColor1, #00A336);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>, ruffed by East and I overruffed. I cashed the <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>A, then the <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>K and the <span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>A, finishing in the dummy. The Queen of Trumps was third with the opening bidder. I played a <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span> from the dummy, East rose with the <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>K (the <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span> were 4-1). I won the <span style=\"color: #ee0707;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span> return and cashed the <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>Q, ruffed. I still had enough trumps to make the rest. A trump to the dummy to establish my long   <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span> with a ruff and 2 trumps with the declaring hand to regain the lead and cash the final established <span style=\"color: #e6790c;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2<span style=\"color: #053fed;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2660;<\/span>+1 brought in 83%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-36feac3\" data-block-id=\"36feac3\"><style>.stk-36feac3{height:50px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What did you think of this article?
