Each hand demonstrates Rabbi's Rule — "When the King is singleton, play the Ace." West holds the singleton !D K. East holds the !H KQ threat. To make 4!S, declarer must drop West's bare K rather than finesse for it. Things to think about: • Count your tricks before touching the trump suit. • If you have 10 top tricks on the safety play, take them — don't finesse for an 11th and risk going down. • The safety play here is dropping the singleton King.
