The Three Kings.

Some of us have heard of the Rabbi’s Rule. “If the king is singleton play the Ace.”
While in New Orleans playing the Mixed Pairs with June Pocock I came across this deal.
Dealer West. Neither side vulnerable.
The lead was Ace of clubs, dropped the King from dummy, Jack, 7. North switched to the Queen of hearts, 3, Ace and once again dropped the King! South led the 10 of Diamonds, Ace, at this point I half expected another King to drop, but it was the 7, 5. Now June led the Queen of Spades, 5, Ace, dropped another singleton King!!!
What an amazing hand, three times the Rabbi’s rule.

They led a trump against me, so it wasn’t as hard to drop the king. After that, I made six (pitching the club from dummy on the long diamond). Cute hand.
We three Kings of Orient are, bearing gifts we traverse afar…always nice to apply the Rule …whenever it’s applicable 🙂
Yes Dave matchpoints can be so random.
Good one Fred 🙂
