kenrexford Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 My wife has been playing bridge for about 6 months. She recently played against Walter Johnson (she had no idea) with my Dad as her partner. Against a suit contract, she found a "great lead" that my Dad found hilarious. The problem from Dad's perspective. In a suit contract, not spades, the opening lead is a small spade (the 5) from my wife. Dummy hits with QJ97, Dad held 86 doubleton. Walter called for small from dummy, Dad dutifully played "third hand high," and, as you can see (Rule of 11 and all), won the trick!!! A spade was continued, to the Ace, King, 10!!! No other way to take three spade tricks and then a trump promotion for Dad. She learns well -- fourth best from longest and strongest usually works. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
