"Well, all my finesses went wrong to-day." you just say to yourself, he probably took twled at many Anessen as he should have. Remember that a finesse only has a 50 per cent chance of winning, un- CONSIGNEES' less the bidding indientes which hand holds the high cards.
You cannot be a winning player! If you work on 60 per cent prob abilities. You should always look for plays that give you at least 51 per cent chance of winning. You therefore resort to the finesse only when no other play will give youį your contract.
