What expasse do you make?++++++++++++++++++++++++++Win ♠A, cash ♣AK and lead ♦9 to ♦KIf RHO has ♦A and returns a ♠ to your ♠K, then you need miracles :(You must hope that RHO also has at least ♦Q and ♥A.Lead ♦J hoping to pin LHO's ♦T. RHO ducks (best).But you continue by sacrificing ♦8.If the cards lie as on the left then RHO makes 3 ♦ tricks but is end-played :) [/hv] 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
