Sambolino Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 bad thing here is that it's dangerous to break the tempo - hypothetically declarer held small spade, winning defense could be spade back from p and that is unethical if tempo was broken i try to learn as much sound plays as i can for the situations where tempo is crucial (some of them are for ethical reasons and some for not making declarer's life easier) and differentiate them from positions over which i can ponder for a minute so i think it's sound to raise the ace here in tempo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinidad Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I fully agree that it is dangerous to break tempo now... That's why you should have done that before you played the ♣6 at trick 1... I think that realizing that is more important than figuring out whether to rise or play low. FWIW, I assume that you play 1/3/5 leads and I would rise, playing declarer for 1525. I would return a diamond in case he happens to be Kx/5/1/5. Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
