I was torn between the idea of giving up a diamond trick by rising with the ace, and giving up a club ruff if I didn't rise with the ace. Maybe this is a question without a clear answer, or not requiring expert help for me to figure out, but at the time I played this I thought "I want to ask people about this hand". We play standard carding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dicklont Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 ♦9Partner has two diamonds, or would have lead his singleton.Declarer has a choice now, 10 or Q.When partner holds the 10 we have two diamond tricks for sure after ducking this round.
