Then we would nearly always be in the wrong contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The play was not too complicated: the interesting points were ensuring that I cashed the <strong>&#x2665;<\/strong>A before crossing back to hand with the final club; playing the <strong>&#x2665;<\/strong>J from hand to potentially induce a cover from West; and not risking the heart finesse when I was already beating those in 3<strong>&#x2663;<\/strong> or not getting a diamond lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-c5298b0\" data-block-id=\"c5298b0\"><style>.stk-c5298b0{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-2fbf1e2\" data-block-id=\"2fbf1e2\"><style>.stk-2fbf1e2{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Deal 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deal-2-India.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94032\" style=\"width:auto;height:500px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Very strange bidding by my partner on this hand. He gave preference to &#x2660; but then co-operated with my slam try when we still didn\u2019t necessarily have a trump fit. I think maybe he felt obliged to after not making a positive 3&#x2666; response initially. Not sure why he didn\u2019t, though it could be that Argine plays something unusual in that position (the normal requirements for a positive 3 minor response are 8+ HCP + 6+ cards in the minor + two honours in the minor).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The contract was a bit hairy to play!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided that I needed to play for the &#x2660;K onside by playing low to Dummy\u2019s &#x2660;J \u2013 you need something good to happen in this contract. If the &#x2660;K had been with East, I would have had a back-up chance, even if he did give his partner the indicated diamond ruff to cut off my entries, that the &#x2660; were 3-3 and West might misdefend by playing a &#x2665; and East might go up with the &#x2665;K. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Helpfully, West rose with the &#x2660;K. If West had ducked, I would have tried a &#x2665; to the &#x2665;Q. If West had won that, he would be the safe hand. He could have played a trump to cut off my heart ruff but I would still have the &#x2665;J as a second entry to the long diamonds, so I would no longer have needed the ruff as long as the &#x2660; were 3-3. If he had ducked, I would have got to ruff a &#x2665; instead and make with &#x2663;K onside as well as the &#x2660; 3-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-0fc1452\" data-block-id=\"0fc1452\"><style>.stk-0fc1452{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-159a41b\" data-block-id=\"159a41b\"><style>.stk-159a41b{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Deal 3<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deal-3-India.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94033\" style=\"width:auto;height:500px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Today, it works well to compete in &#x2660; but I stick by my decision not to with so many points in the opponents\u2019 suits and knowing that the &#x2660; are 4-1. Argine even suggested that I double after 1&#x2663; 1&#x2665;: a bit strange with three small diamonds when double promises both &#x2660; and &#x2666;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vulnerability also looked good for defending \u2013 +200 could have been on the cards. Sadly, when Declarer turned out to be 5-5, the contract was unbeatable despite all of his finesses failing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-77e04b2\" data-block-id=\"77e04b2\"><style>.stk-77e04b2{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-92ecdca\" data-block-id=\"92ecdca\"><style>.stk-92ecdca{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Deal 4<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deal-4-India.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94034\" style=\"width:auto;height:500px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The second double just showed a maximum take-out but with the bidding already as high as 3&#x2660;, one should be alert to the possibility that Partner will frequently pass rather than bid at the 4-level. I was happy if and when he chose to do so. With P\u2019s long suit my least favourite of the options and so many quick defensive tricks, doubling 3&#x2660; would often get a good result: +200 might be necessary if 3&#x2666; turned out to be the limit of the hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here was the key decision point in the play for me.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deal-5-India.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94035\" style=\"width:auto;height:500px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>I knew that Declarer had three cards remaining in the red suits. If he had &#x2665;Kx remaining and only one diamond, I could see that my pitiful &#x2665;432 would not provide a stop. If I exited passively with a club, East would be able to cash the &#x2665;K, cross to the &#x2665;Q in the dummy and throw his losing diamond on the fourth round of &#x2665;. So cashing the &#x2666;A would be key here. Then, I checked that that would not be giving away a trick if Declarer had only one heart but two diamonds, as he did here. If Partner held the &#x2666;K, it would of course be safe; if Declarer held the &#x2666;K and played low, it would block the diamond suit, so his &#x2666;Q winner would be stranded; if he unblocked the &#x2666;K as he did today, the &#x2666;Q would still be his only diamond winner. So the best play was to cash the &#x2666;A as I did here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With no &#x2665; stop, I knew that with &#x2665;Kx &#x2666;K remaining, Decl would be able to discard the &#x2666; on the fourth &#x2665; in Dummy. So cashed &#x2666;A as it can never cost!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-132df97\" data-block-id=\"132df97\"><style>.stk-132df97{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-740e186\" data-block-id=\"740e186\"><style>.stk-740e186{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Deal 5<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deal-6-India.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94036\" style=\"width:auto;height:500px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>It was an unfortunate but not silly decision to bid 3&#x2665;, though it feels silly after the result! You have to compete for the partscore very aggressively at this vulnerability because defending only rewards you in fifties, so you want to be the one only risking giving away fifties. Of course, that also means that doubles should be quite aggressive, so my opponents did well here. Yes, the singleton &#x2666;Q is off-putting; but Partner would normally have four trumps for the 1&#x2665; bid, which makes a big difference to the playability of the hand, so it is reasonable if you did what I did! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The play was important: I got almost average for -500 because so many people were in the same contract and going for every number under the sun\u2026 Not only -800 but even -2800! Don\u2019t give up just because your contract is doomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was important to win the &#x2663;A on Trick 1 in case West had led from singleton &#x2663;J. Since I was then in the wrong hand for playing either of the majors, I exited with the &#x2666;Q and was rewarded when West switched to the &#x2660;T, giving me an easy cover.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deal-7-India-1024x988.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94037\" style=\"width:auto;height:500px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Playing a trump at Trick 8 works today, so it looks like a mistake to play a club as I did \u2013 but you will go six off if it is wrong, as the opponents will draw your trumps and cash the diamonds! So it was actually prudent not to do so. Always consider what the result will be if the layout is favourable or if it is not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-628dc89\" data-block-id=\"628dc89\"><style>.stk-628dc89{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-906c9e1\" data-block-id=\"906c9e1\"><style>.stk-906c9e1{height:11px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Deal 6<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deal-8-India.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94038\" style=\"width:auto;height:500px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The important things in the play on this hand were to go up with the <strong>&#x2666;<\/strong>A on Trick 1, as you were wide open in <strong>&#x2660;<\/strong>; and to play for singleton honour in <strong>&#x2663;<\/strong> (the only holding where you can pick the <strong>&#x2663;<\/strong> up if they are not 2-2) to be with East, as he had longer <strong>&#x2666;<\/strong> and therefore less space in his hand for <strong>&#x2663;<\/strong>.

When Partner switches to a spade, play the &#x2660;K under the &#x2660;A rather than the &#x2660;J, to inform your partner that you have a strong spade sequence.
