Give most players a sure trick in the suit and the possibility of winning a second and no thought is devoted to the hand As a whole which might dictate a Holdup As a Means of guaranteeing the contract. This hand illustrates our Point. South held a maximum for a two no Trump response. With a Square hand and Only a weak four card major South saw no reason to introduce the Spade suit when a bid that described both the strength and shape of the hand was available. West led a Low dab and Declarer captured the Queen with the King. South had available even fast tricks. One Way to establish two More was to guess which defender held the Queen of Spades. Since that was uneven Money proposition Declarer chose to Cash the see and Long of Spades in the Hope of dropping the Queen then fall Back on the Diamond finesse when the lady did not appear. Unfortunately East held the King of diamonds and a club return permitted the defenders to reel off four club tricks and the Queen of Spades As Well As the King of diamonds Down two. Declarer did Well to increase the chances of Landing the contract by attempting to drop the Queen of Spades. However there was available a sure trick line. All Declarer had to do was refuse to win the first trick since no shift can harm Declarer the Best the defenders can do is return a club. Even if West can profitably hold up on this trick Declarer can now take the Diamond finesse with Complete safety. If it loses and East has a club to return that suit is breaking 4-3 and the most the defenders will be Able to collect is three club tricks and a Diamond. M amp in a Al Duj it it re. Q.
