I think a thread like this is very good BUT the format is more confusing than the problem itself! Might I suggest a new thread for each problem? it gets unweildly when statements such as "The correct answer hasn't been posted yet. Please try again." The correct answer to which hand? And obviously the author chooses to ignore the suggestion that a better format be used in presenting the hands such as using a hand template! Okay, you might say you dont have to do this which is fine! |

The last hand posted, the answers to the previous hands have been already posted. I have tried the templates in the past but have had problems with them. I don't understand the problem with the format given. |

Alan, when you get paid for doing this, I'll expect you to learn how to post hands better.....  In the meantime, please post each new hand in a new discussion with a title like, "Suit Establishment 3", Suit Establishment 4", etc. You are performing a good service. |

LOL PK, your suggestion "In the meantime, please post each new hand in a new discussion with a title like, "Suit Establishment 3", Suit Establishment 4", etc. " is exactly what I meant by format. and my suggestion"Might I suggest a new thread for each problem? " Now that you are a highrated player, I guess your suggestion makes more sense and will be acted upon promptly   way to go !!! |

Need Diam tricks to make... Save entries to South hand. Overtake Diam K with Ace and lead Diam until they take one ( with Q or J ). When next in use one of your 2 entries to South hand to lead Diam again to knockout remaining honor. Tricks = 3c, 3d, 1h, 2s |
