- After the jack is led, I usually play the ace
- unless the jack is holding and
- 1. I believe partner was playing from a
- doubleton*. In this case I show a positive
- attitude. If this suit is played again our
- side may well get a ruffing trick.
- 2. Declarer holds back the king or queen in
- dummy. Here I also show a positive attitude.
-
- *When partner leads the jack and the 10 is visible,
- partner either led from a doubleton or singleton.
- I play partner for the doubleton unless the dummy
- and I have too many cards in the suit to make
- a ruff on the third round work.
-
- Note: I usually lead from a doubleton only if I
- expect to get the lead again and work toward a ruff.
