E-Mail sent as column repeats yesterday’s – as the old joke goes, the dictionary definition of “recursion” is “See recursion”. Mind you, it was a really instructive hand.

Nice one, Sally! Many thanks.

Hi Bobby,

If South carelessly didn’t unblock the C10, he is still home if either E or W (the latter improbably) had 4C as well as the HK, while the C J dropping makes life easy. Is it best to cash the HA though or keep the HAQ for a 3 card end position still having the H finesse as an option? I suppose the danger here is that now East might be down to HK and CJx at the end – as in my fate the pother day so it removes an unlikely option (West has led from the HK at T1) but kills the chance of a bad decision.

Regards,

Iain

PS We should send Sally something as well as just thanks.
