A Better Card Play in Bridge Four Spades
In four spades after West leads jack and you win with ace then ten, East shows out on the second diamond. Ruffs and drawing trumps seems doomed but a simple discard plan saves the contract. By discarding a heart on the first three tricks and letting diamonds continue, you concede the first three to opponents, then secure about a 99 percent chance to win the remaining ten tricks.
