lmilne Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Ducking trick 1 was my first thought. Seems reasonably clear to get started on the diamonds, by leading a small one from hand now. I would have thought about this so I can play the diamond from hand within a few seconds of winning the first of second heart, so it's harder for LHO to duck smoothly from Kx.

lmilne Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Does playing fast to allow opponents less time to think go against some sort of law? I don't do this very often, but I would hate to think I was committing some sort of 'sharp practice'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 It's against the rules (Law 74C) to "vary the normal tempo of bidding or play for the purpose of disconcerting an opponent". In any case, the opponents shouldn't allow you to control the speed of play. If LHO wants time to think before you play to trick two, he should leave his trick-one card face up on the table whilst he thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Diamond Ace at trick two. Maybe I will get a feel from the spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
