  Slam Zone  When you can count
31+ points between your hand and partner's you are in the Slam Zone. Start bidding your way towards slam always
leaving yourself an easy "out" in case you need it.  |
  Nonworking Endplay  This is what happens
when you try to make the opponents lead to you but you've forgotten to strip your hand adequately so they wind up with
a safe exit card.  |
  Tempt a Cover  When you don't know whether
to drop or finesse a missing honor you can try leading something like a Jack. Even if you were planning on playing for the
"drop", players who always cover an honor with an honor without thinking about it first, will make the decision for you.
  |
  UnDouble  What you wish you could
do on many hands where Partner's bidding has gotten you too high! |
