- When dummy has a balanced hand and it is not too
- strong*, I try to force declarer to ruff in
- declarer's hand or force declarer to break
- new suits. An exit in trumps may be in order
- unless I have strong trumps.
-
- *I classify dummy types and most likely defenses
- as follows(First D and Second D may or may not
- come up with the same dummy type):
- 1. As above.
- 2. Ruffing power: I play trumps.
- 3. Long strong suit that does not need to be
- developed. Play my aces, try to void myself in
- suit before trumps drawn, play to partner's void,
- or kill dummy. There is no second chance.
- 4. Long suit that if developed will ensure game:
- I attack dummy's entries if it appears I can kill
- dummy. Otherwise, I play a suit for winners or
- play trumps. If by chance partner has dummy's
- suit blocked, the trump play is probably best.
