Hi ,


We are declarer in 3NT and we face a dilemma after we realize East is the dangerous opponent: we can cash our sure winners and go down only one, or we can try to set up our second suit to make our contract, but risking losing the lead to East and going down two. What should we do? Leave a comment to share your thinking.


Jack Stocken is here to help us out with this fun bridge hand and encourages us to try making the contract even with the risk.
