Hi Bobby,

On Percentage Play’s query of AQx opposite J10xx for no loser, is it best (if havign to lead from the J10 hand) to start with the 10 just in case West dozes of with Kx? He / she shouldn’t but it does seem to be a chance to nothing.

Regards,

Iain

On the hand with the dueling long minor suits, the text: …”six clubs, which is no worse than the spade finesse.”

I think diamonds must ALSO be 3-2. On a trump lead, for example, if a top diamond is ruffed declarer has essentially no play.
