A Very Overrated Lead
Don’t lead a doubleton unless you have a good reason.
Partner, Wherefore Art Thou?
When
your only hope is to “find partner,” reject the suit(s) he has
“denied.”
Slam Killing
Lead
passively against a grand slam or 6NT. Lead aggressively against
all other slams.
The HCP Detective
As
soon as dummy is tabled, each defender should add dummy’s HCP to
his own.
Know When To Hold ’Em
When
declarer attacks a suit and you have two stoppers, it is often
correct to duck.
The Waiting Game
When
you have the opportunity to overruff with a sure trump trick —
don’t.
A
Devastating Uppercut
When
there is no hope remaining in the side suits, try to promote a
trump trick.
Save The Last Cover For Me
Wait
to cover the LAST of touching honors that are led from dummy.
