 Before starting out blindly on the play of the hand, look the si- tuation over carefully. Success of end plays, squeezes, elimination, and throw-in plays are all largely de- pendent upon correct timing. quite often, by properly timing a hand, you may not have to take what might prove to be losing finesse.

things we are doing and scarcely any,
