manudude03 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Rule of 11 helps a lot (assuming 4th best). Subtract the lead from 11 and it says how many higher cards are in the other 3 hands. Since declarer and 3rd seat can see 2 of these 3 hands, they can work out something about the other.When it comes to high spot cards, a common agreement is to lead 2nd from bad suits. So if after using the rule of 11, you find that declarer only has 1 higher card (or none), work out if it is feasible from the auction. If it is not, then assume it is from a bad suit. You generally only want your side to only play 1 high card for each of declarer's honours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
