Parka and Recreation Committee The cost Lets Play Bridge written about hold up plays before but last week there occurred a hold up play that was so obvious I decided to remind you about them again A hold up play Is simply a refusal to take a trick until one opponent has no cards left In a suit In that way he cannot lead the suit buck to his partner In more formal terms a hold up play is designed to sever communication between the opponents Here Is the hand with West the dealer and both sides vulnerable case every South ended up In three no trump and every Went led low diamond J 1Q J south S Sl J e Opening lead diamonds South may elect to open the bidding with one heart Instead of one no trump North will reply one spade and South will bid one no trump now After two clubs by North South should proceed directly to three no trump In any Eight tricks Declarer con count only eight tricks even if the heart finesse works He must lose the lead at least once so he must guard against losing Four diamonds and one side trick Declarer allows Fast to take his king of di He also allows win the diamond ten when East leads his third diamond docs declarer win the trick A spade is led and when West plays low declarer plays dummy seven East In on lead but he cannot lead diamonds Declarer hold up play served its purpose Tries best East tries his best by leading a but declarer plays his Now when the spade suit breaks evenly declarer is home free In fuel the long in dummy squeeze East out of a club trick You may wonder what good the hold up piny would bo If East held four diamonds originally If he south did hold four then West would only have four and declarer would lose only three diamond tricks The hold up play guards four of losing more than three diamond tricks Winners Last
