Jacoby on Bridge Percentages and the 4-4 Club Split

A Cincinnati reader asks about the percentage play in a hand. West opens clubs, East covers with the jack, South wins with the king, then finesses the queen of spades and diamonds. The defense wins three clubs and a spade, defeating South’s contract. North argues for a different line, but the key factor is West's opening style and the true club split. If clubs are 4-4, South should target diamonds early. if not, he must run for nine tricks with careful finesses.
