Before getting into specific hands and circumstances, I would like to offer a bit of advice relating to falsecards.
A FALSECARD IS INTENDED TO FOOL DECLARER, NOT TO FOOL YOUR PARTNER.
In general, defense is the hardest part of bridge. It is difficult enough when you know what is going on. Its nearly impossible when you have to guess. If you insist on sending out a bewildering array of signals, you will nail an occasional declarer or two. But you will also nail your partner.
Bridge is a partnership game. One or two or three successes will not compensate for a confused, embarrassed, or upset partner.
Ever had an experience like this one?
You lead the K and partner plays the three. Theres no way you are going to beat this on high cards, but there may be a way to promote a trump trick. Three things must happen:
1. Clubs must be 4-3-3-3.
2. Partner must have the 10.
3. Declarer must lead a spade from dummy to his queen.
If all this happens, you will win the first round of spades, and lead the thirteenth club. This will promote a trump trick. All this happening is against the odds, but something is better than nothing.
Putting it into practice, you continue with the A and another club. Clubs turn out to be 4-3-3-3. Declarer wins and leads the 2 to his queen and your ace.
The good news is that partner has the 10. The bad news is that he has just played it. When you lead the J (partner might have the 7), declarer guesses the position and makes the rest.
What went wrong? On declarers chosen line of play, 4 was going down. Why did partner ruin your plans?
The answer is that partner was falsecarding. He thought declarer might have the A. Partner played the ten, hoping to discourage declarer from finessing in spades if the situation were as below.
This was the layout partner was hoping for. Partner was trying to do a good thing. It just happened that on this occasion, it cost a game contract.
You may form your own conclusion.
Chapter 1
There are a number of valid reasons for choosing to lead an unusual card. These reasons include:
1. You might lead third or fifth best in order to mislead declarer as to your length in the suit. (This assumes you normally lead fourth best.)
2. You might lead the wrong card from a sequence in order to mislead declarer as to where the high cards are, i.e., lead the jack from QJx.
3. You might underlead an ace against a suit contract.
Note that you do not make an unusual lead simply because you feel like it. You do it because there is a specific, defined reason for it. Falsecards are dangerous because they mislead partner as well as declarer. If you falsecard ten times and get five good results, four normal results, and embarrass partner once, you can be sure partner will remember the tenth time. He wont like it, and worse, it may cause him to doubt your carding in the future.
