weejonnie Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 No problem! If Dummy is not the last to play to the trick he shall play the lowest correct card that according to his knowledge will win the trick. If he is unsure then that means his highest card (save for continuous ranking cards)And dummy is a pro that has counted the hands whilst his partner is a client who doesn't . . .

barmar Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 It may be the only reasonable thing to do, but that won't stop people from doing something else. I have seen declarers say "win it" when dummy is second to play to the trick.Has it happened in cases where it required some judgement, like keeping count of the suit? I wouldn't have a problem if dummy had AKQx and the Jack was led. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I don't know, Barry. I do know most of the cases where I've seen it weren't as obvious as your example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamford Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 In my experience, that's what is actually done. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "win" when dummy was not last to play.You have not lived. Many people at Young Chelsea flippantly say "win", when dummy has a singleton king, or "small" when dummy has a singleton ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pescetom Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 The One is the smallest card in the suit, isn't it? B-) It actually was, until the French Revolution B-)Although some say until the 14th century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say practically anything when dummy has a singleton in the suit led, as long as it doesn't designate some other suit. I think I've even heard "try to win" when dummy has a singleton that can't possibly win -- he sheepishly apologizes for his failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
