How do you split your honors


Recommended Posts

Assume standard leads and signaling.

Kanter's way is

 

Q from QJ10

J from J109 or KQJ

With only 2 honors usually dont split but if you do split:

K from AK

Q from KQ

Q from QJ

 

Looks kind of strange since no rule of either split high or split low.

The Q is most ambigious but the idea is that wht only 2 honors KQ or QJ you usually dont split (also i guess if the ace is seen you can split KQ with the K and avoid this problem).

Still i think there must be a better set of rules to spliting.

For the sake of completeness, this way of splitting honors is suggested by Kantar for SECOND SEAT only.

Playing 3rd/4rth seat, he suggests splitting with the lowest of touching honors, except hlding doubleton HH, when the sequence is reversed.

which honor to split? hell i have trouble remembering to look around for an endplay when i have a finesse

end play is advace play while knowing how to split (not when to split) is begining skill just like a beginer partner should know if they lead 4th best of 5 best.

I think these easy stuff should come before the other partnership agrement and conventions.
