RHO wins the Q and returns a small club. Given that the diamond is a doubleton or top of nothing, what is your choice of lines - do you play for some squeeze or do you try to simply ruff a 3rd heart?

Winstonm Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 What about a ruffing finesse of the diamond? Frankly, it didn't occur to me. Blind spot. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
