A little more on finesses and a note on inferences My hand: A Q J 9 8 7 Void Axx 10 9 7 4 Partners hand: K 5 Q J 7 5 4 Kx K J x x The field was in four making five. We were in four spades making six. [With 21 working HCP is it possible to get to six?] It looks like you have two finesses to take, but since the club ace is a sure looser and you have all the club spots all you have to worry about is the club queen. So how did the field loose two club tricks when the queen is in the pocket? I do not know the details, but I do not think they played the percentages. From my seat the play was straightforward: I took the diamond lead in my hand and led a small club LHO flew with the ace. From this I inferred that LHO also had the queen, else it should be let ride to RHOs queen. [I should have played diamond king, diamond ace, diamond ruff, spade K, heart ruff, pulled trumps, and then made the club play. Some serious students of the game are capable of smoothly flying with the ace and then leading away from the queen. Now I would have to worry about ace doubleton, loosing the finesse to the queen, and (since I had not pulled trumps) getting a club ruffed. Although with ace doubleton it might have been led.] I took the diamond return on the board, ruffed a heart to my hand, ruffed my last diamond with the five, cashed the spade king, ruffed a heart back to my hand, pulled trumps, led the 10 for another club finesse, and dropped the queen on the next round, to make six.
