Hand1
Yes this is a safety play!!!! As noone got it, it wasnt easy! Did you put out the cards in front of you?????
You have no outside losers other than trumps....some of you almost got it
Win in hand cash KS then polay 9, or 8 intending to let it run. If West shows out, go up with AS then play small towards JS. If West plays low, dummy plays low, and if East shows out this restricts West to one trump trick.
Hand 2
Difficulty seeing woods for trees!!!
Win spade lead play low towards QD, MUST cross to dummy on H and play low towards JD! East cannot afford to take AD holding A10xx as this sets up suit. When West shows out after JD holds, you cross to dummy again on H and play Club inserting 10!! If West wins, he has no D to return to partner and you have 3S 3H 2D 4C which adds up to 12... Count your tricks and look for bad breaks. If it is impossible to make on 5/0 breaks then assume 4/1
