Bridge Card Game Commentary On Dealer Trust Issues
A fragmented bridge note warns against trusting vulnerable opponents who bluff to mislead. It describes a key trick where West appears to hold four hearts and at least three, the first club trick won by 9 and A of diamonds, and East's capture of a spade trick when West out on diamonds. South misreads West's spades leading to a duck and West's long run of clubs. If South had ignored a double, the contract might have been made.
