When defending a suit contrac/n/t contract-why is it so many players ,play the jack,when holding the 10 when pard leads the suit,or King when they have the queen,in their minds, one can assume that partner cannot count, the opps hand re values,one can understand siut/n/t contract when one is holding KQx in a side suit that declarer plays to, AJ10x in Dummy------------- playing the K,maybe a chestnut, but let declarer work it out

one must remember, partner has a duty to ones partner- if partner leads a suit and destroys your holding,"Tuff" partner did it with the best of intentions

one does not need 3 opps at the bridge table

another acceptable factor if pard is on lead,holding QJ bare in trumps,or QJxx in a side suit,and no other constructive choice of lead lead J from QJ--or lead J fromQJxx--------------------otherwise standard leads are required,and card play is required

When you play the queen from QJxx, you show partner how he can reach you- by underleading the king. This is a valuable information.

Still the same... Often it's a more solid holding, such as QJTx or KQJx. This is very useful information when defending.

BTW, for better responses which are what you are specifically looking for, I suggest you punctuate your posts, and read them through so that they are easier to understand.

I'm not a native but it feels like falsecarding should be one word. False carders are cheaters?

Anyway, if you are interested in the subject you should read Mike Lawrence's excellent book on the subject. Especially the first page.
