- Eight ever, nine never? A new situation
- If you're giving declarer 5♥ - which is pretty unlikely itself - you're forgetting another common layout: T8x - Qx. Here declarer would need to finesse the jack if LHO ruffs with the 8. I also don't follow your comment about a deep finesse when LHO ruffs with the ...
- A Little Bit Of Help
- Nice hand. However you can improve your technique a little. Win the ♠A at trick 1, then ruff ♣3. Cross with ♥10 to ♥K and ruff ♣6. Cross ♥9 to ♥Q and ruff ♣J with ♥A. Now lead towards the ♦J. If East wins the ♦K, he can return a ...
- Amazing defenses by Buratti–Lanzarotti
- Not even close.
- Edgtton and Whibley Lead Blue Ribbon Pairs
- Who?
- Grosvenored by a Bot

- John Newman's bidding problem: 9 J86 J9754 T964
- What are 3♠ and 3NT from partner? Anyway, the very wide range of our 3♥ raise suggests that opener needs to differentiate between 1. "Checking on controls before driving to slam" and 2. "Checking on controls while inviting slam." Generally I prefer to play the cheapest step (here ...
- Matthew Brown's bidding problem: AJ43 T3 A AKJT64
- I would have doubled on the first round and I don't consider it close.
- Elke Weber's bidding problem: J3 AJ95 QJT Q753
- I think your approach is fine as a passed hand. How can you have a GF as a passed hand without a fit? It doesn't make sense.
