Jlall Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Someone asked me this recently, wasn't sure I gave the right answer... Say your partner has tanked during the bidding. Can you take advantage of the fact that RHO knows that partner has tanked and might adjust his play according to what he thinks partners tank has indicated. An example I might make up on the fly, say there is a 2 card ending, and everyone is down to spades. Dummy on your left has Kx of spades, and you have Qx, and declarer leads the jack from his hand. Under normal circumstances you should duck this, but if your partner has hesitated in the auction and not shown up with much you should cover, lest declarer run the J from Jx when partner has AT since he "knows" where the ace is from the hesitation. Are you allowed to use this info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 No.Any information that comes as a consequence of your partner's actions (other than calls or plays) is unauthorised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
