Bidding: A straightforward
sequence; after North's rebid of hearts, South realizes he
wants to be in a heart game, and South bids it directly.
Play: We win the
Q
with the
K
and we play the
Q
to draw trump. Do we play the
A
and drop the singleton
K.
Yeah, like we really knew the
K
was singleton.
Well, whether you take the finesse
or not, you are down.
Proper Play: North
should realize that there is no way for him to make ten tricks
unless he makes his tramp individually, so he should win the
opening club lead, cash the other club and crossruff the rest
of the hand. He must cash his
2nd club first, since West will be able to discard his clubs
during the crossruff.
