Third Hand Play With Dummy on

In this position you Judge your partner
opening lead or subsequent play by your
own and Dummy's holding.
The dealers hand, the one unknown GUAM
tity against you, lies beyond you and your
play must be governed by certain DEFINITE
almost invariable, rules In order 10 OBTAIN
the best results. Against a no trump your
partners opening lead declares that SUIT
to be his longest, and if he opens II WITH
high card he must be either very long OF
very strong
Having become familiar with the table
of high card leads against no trump you
can Judge your partners holding Dy lhe
card he opens.
Opening with the ace denies the KING anu
indicates In the hand either queen or JACK,
or both. or extreme length tseVeh s'''"''
cards.. - a,.tar
ace ar queen with another honor or extreme
length. 80, 49, Ltno
Opening with the queen denies the KING
and indicates the jack with ten or nine:
OneuIng with the jack indicates the zen.
0nenin9 with the ten indicates KING anu
jack. .
AGAINST a no trump, when your partner
onens his suit with a high card you must
prepare to lubbock. The principle Is TINS.
IF possible, never be left with single
high card in your partners suit 1t often
happens that a player is prevented rom
making all the cards in his long SUIT De-
cause his partner has not taken proper
precautions to get out of his way; the lead
is thrown into the wrong hAhu anu '
suit is blocked -
If your partner leads king ana then ace
and you hold queen and two small, play
aueen on the second trick and save
small card. Your partner. IN order TO nave
opened with the high cards, must either
hold the jack or have held seven OF the
suit and your throwing away me queen
upon the second trick VIII give him COM
rnand for the third trick and he can then
make his small cards. II you mold the
queen until the third trick. you block him
and without a re-entry he VIII never make
the remainder of his sui
If your partner leads an honor ana you
hold an ace or king and one other, play
high or otherwise you may block his suit
hopelessly on the second round.
AGAINST no trump unlock as follows.
Holding king and one. play king on part
ner's lead of ace.
Holding king, queen and one. play queen
on partners lead of ace.
Holding queen, jack and one, play JACK
on partners lead of ace.
HOLDING ace and one. play ace on part
ner,s lead of king.
ON partners lead OF king.
Holding king and one. play king on
partners lead of queen.
Holding king. queen ana one, play Queen
on partners lead Of jack.
Unblocking With Low Cards.
Either against noArump or declared
trump,
Holding four or more of the suit your
partner leads and. not attempting to WIN
the trick, always commence TO unlock py
retaining your smallest card, playing the
others in their natural order
Example: Holding Jack. nine. six and
three on partners lead of king and ace
play sfx on the king and nine oh the ace,
retaining the three until the last one Fou

This holding up OF the smallest card not
