Discarding Correctly

Gavin goes over a recent hand. He talks you through the process of knowing what to discard. He then talks through his opponent's play problem and how ruffing in the short hand would make the hand easier.

Great analysis! Lots of lessons in just one hand.

Your defensive problem was really cool, and it's neat thinking along with you to figure it out. Hand visualization on defense is a lot of fun.

If opening lead is a trump, declarer still gets home on the same diamond club squeeze he missed here.

[@wolpertbridge]

Yes exactly. The diamond suit blocking is just enough to make this hand on any lead.
