HI Folks,

Should declarer cash the SA at T3 just in case W is (say) 1-3-4-5 or even 1-4-4-4 although in the latter cases they might open 1D? 4-1 trumps will be difficult to manage but this specific case might be. Interesting hand, though – if I could be sure that West had the SQ, I might even be tempted to try to drop it before finding a way of endplaying him.

Regards,

Iain
