From the cradle we are taught to draw trumps and this hand should be no different from most other hands. Here we have seven trumps (not much good ) but terrific values outside. Initially we have 1 Spade winner, 2 Heart winners and 5 Diamond winners. So we will need to genrate just one more. On the losers front we have 1 Club loser and up to 3 Spade losers. With all this in mind we should immedialy win the Heart trick and start on the Spades.
You keep drawing trumps and although they break 4:2 you still get home making 2 Spades, 2 Hearts and all the Diamonds.
You can
also play out the following hand to see how the hand pans out.
