Suppose a hypothetical situation where you needed to earn the best score possible no matter what. The scoring is matchpoints (duh), you play 3/5 leads vs. suit with UDCA. Declarer is an average player.



1. ♥6, 2, Q, A
2. ♠5, 2, K, 3
3. ♠4, 7, J, Q
4. ♠9, 6, ♣ 5, T
5. ♦8, 4, K, ?
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

I guess your system is a strong club with a strong NT? Partner must have ♦54, because he would play the 5 with 542. Looks like he is 3424. Given that he led from at most ♥KJxx, he must have the ♣A. I duck, win the second diamond and play a club. Partner wins and keeps plugging away at ♣, then declarer has to lead hearts for himself, just in case he has ♥AJxx. Declarer will probably advance the ♥9 when on table after the first diamond so I'll cover and partner can put me with the ♦A to play clubs. Declarer has misplayed so we should be in for a fine score anyway.

By the way, I always try to get the best score possible ;)

Actually we learned at trick four that we weren't getting the best score possible. We learned that they didn't have a Michaels accident.
