Your partner leads in your long suit : lducking
Your partner led showing count (odd-even) in your long suit. You should not take the first trick if :
- The opps have only one stopper in your suit and you have no other entry
- The opps ahev a double stopper in your suit and you only have 1 side entry
In both cases, to establish and cash in your suit, your partner has to :
- get back in hand during play
- Play the lead suit a 2nd time
For example :
You are in South, defending against a 3NT contract ; You partner leads 10
