Daily Bulletin Friday, November 25, 2016 Page 3 JUST FOR NEW PLAYERS Do’s and Don’ts to help your game – Part 1 By Brent Manley

Bridge players, especially new ones, find it helpful to observe certain “rules” for bidding and play. One of the most popular of the numbered “rules” is “eight ever, nine never,” which is meant to indicate when to – or not – when you are trying to play a suit for no losers missing three or four to the queen. Going strictly by the math, best practice holding nine in the suit is to cash the ace, then the king (58% chance of success). With eight, you should usually cash a high one and finesse the jack. In other words, DO finesse with an eight-card fit, DON’T finesse with nine. There are, of course, exceptions. When you have, say, K-10-9-5 in one hand and A-J-8-4- 3 in the other, you can go either way. If the bidding tells you one opponent certainly has the queen or definitely does not, ignore the “rule” and finesse accordingly. How can you tell who does or doesn’t have the queen? Well, if you are declarer and a passed- hand opponent shows up with A-K-Q-J in a suit, he certainly won’t have as much as another queen. I start with a concept I believe to be important you can’t concentrate as you should. That would give him enough high-card points to for all players. If you are thinking about commenting on open the bidding. partner’s mistake, put yourself in his place.
