If there weren’t two kinds of luck….

You’re in 5C, with a perilous heart holding of  Jxx in dummy, and Qxx in hand.

LHO, after bidding diamonds, makes the opening lead of the heart K. RHO can’t possibly have a doubleton heart, as that would give LHO 5 hearts, which he certainly can’t have after ovecalling diamonds. The bridge gods have indeed smiled on you!

But now comes a small heart to the ace on your right, and a heart back, which is trumped by LHO with the only trump he has in his hand. Down one – but don’t feel too badly – maybe the lead of the K from Kx  blind will be standard at every other table. Or maybe not!

Good for St Louis; what’s that have to do with the Giants; oh yeah – nothing. There’s a Veterans day parade every year, a Memorial Day parade etc. You don’t see Giants fans getting all bent out of shape about that.
