When to overruff; when to discard

[2015-11-28 07:33]

Last week, we looked at deals in which a defender had a chance to ruff in. Most of the time, it was right to ruff; but not always. This week, we move to overruffing. Occasionally, some guesswork will be needed. However, assuming that if you do not overruff, your high honor will still be a winner later, this basic guideline works much more often than not: Overruff with any singleton, doubleton king-low, doubleton queen-low, and with tripleton queen-low-low unless partner rates to be short in the suit; otherwise, discard.
