Hi !


Have you been in this situation: you end up in game and when dummy's hand comes down, you realize you are missing three of the highest honor cards?


It seems pretty likely that we're going down but there is a small chance we could make the contract. Can you visualize what would need to happen for us to make 4♠?


How would you plan your play? Would you play trying to make your contract or would you accept that you're going down and just focus on minimizing your losses?
