I have a bridge hand to share with you all.
It involves diamonds.
The suit is as follows:
K87 in dummy,
AJTx in hand.
You lead the 8 to the ten, on which your left hand opponent drops the nine, and asks you why you have the trick scored incorrectly. When you inform him that your ten does, indeed, beat his nine, he says "I didn't win that trick? I meant to win that trick."
The problem is not whether you now finesse his marked queen, but whether you move to a new suit entirely and try to set up the beer. I chickened out and just took the marked finesse.
