The score is 6-6.
Your partner in first seat passes and so does the dealer's partner.
Do you order the right into the dealer's hand or pass and why?
Would it make a difference in your answer if the score was 8-6 in your favor?
You know where 5, possibly 6 trump are. As a skilled player, your partner would lead trump. About the only way you’d be in trouble is if the dealer had the two black aces and your partner also had a club and spade.Your partner is skilled, so he must have the Alone blocked. So he has Left X or Axx. He actually communicated that he had at least 1 trick by passing.
If you order, you're going to know where at least six trump are. Like you've both said, your partner is holding at least two, one of which is the left. You also have the three in your hand and you'd know that dealer is holding the right. So that's 6 trump.Don wrote: Tue Mar 12, 2019 11:08 pm Here I would be tempted to order.

In fact, you don't even have one trick in your hand. What you have is a situation where between you and your partner, you have two tricks (since you know for a fact that the dealer won't have three trump if you order up).Richardb02 wrote: Wed Mar 13, 2019 10:55 pm Hey Don, what are you seeing that you are not fully describing?
I see only 1 trick in my hand and reverse next blocked for the second round. What are you adding to my analysis, leading you to bid?
