JACOBY ON BRIDGE

Hold-Up Play Is Very Familiar

By OSWALD JACOBY VERY

EVER

experienced bridge player is familiar with the hold-up play. You simply refuse to take your winning card in u sult at your first opportunity. The idea is to take your trick at much a time as to exhaust one of the opponents of cards in that Bull.

The hold-up is a fine play, but even the best play in the world canbo overused. In today's hand, South picked the wrong time to try a hold-up.

West opened the queen of hearts, preferring the solidity of that suit to the length of the clubs. It was close choice, but most experts would prob- ably agree with West's actual decision.

South automatically refused tho first trick, a grievous error. West looked fearfully at dum- my's five-card diamond sult and decided that the comparatively short hearin were not strong enough medicine to defeat the contract. He therefore shifted

1-10 the three of clubs.

Halphly

This shift proved profitable to the defenders and disastrous to South. South had to take his ace of clubs fairly

It should have been obvious to declarer at the very outset. that the clubs were far more dangerous than the hearts, and that a hold-up play might give West the opportunity to change his mind about the right sult to attack. What's more, it should have been clear that the hearts were not really dangerous.

West could not have five “hearts, since then East would have held a doubleton king (in which case he would have played the king at the first trick).
