I did understand one comment and I would like to hear some discussion on it to help me understand it better.
I was in the second seat and I ordered up a lower than Ace Trump in Clubs to my partner. I had the Right and I think maybe a nine of trump. I had an Ace of Diamonds as well as two other diamonds. Which in my opinion made my off Ace very weak.
I took the first trick with my nine. So I had to make a choice do I lead the Right and possibly bring down my partners only Trump. That would make my Ace stronger but I wasn’t sure it would be strong enough.
I decided to sacrifice my Ace and hope that my partner could get at least one trick. The third seat trumped my Ace and took the trick.
We ended up taking all of the remaining tricks because my partner was loaded with trump. He commented that I should have lead with my Right instead of my Ace because we would’ve taken all five tricks for two points.
In hindsight that is true. But I had no way of knowing that he had more than one Trump. What would you have done?
