The Jack of Diamonds Loses by 108; Clubs Wins by 66
The Jack of diamonds is a trap, and the hand has a 50 run waiting for the opponents. The call that wins is clubs, and it wins even though the Jack of clubs is not on your side.
The hand
Your first six cards are the Ace and 7 of hearts, the Jack of diamonds, the Ace and 7 of clubs, and the 6 of spades. The kitty is the 10 of hearts, the Ace of spades and the 6 of diamonds.
The decision
Diamonds holds your Jack, and Opponent 2 holds the Ace, Queen and Nine. It loses 52 to 160. Hearts loses 92 to 120 and spades 35 to 177. Opponent 1 holds a 50 run in spades, from the 9 to the Queen, and it follows you around in every call.
Clubs wins 149 to 83. You hold the Ace and the 7, and your Partner holds the King, 10 and 9 and picks up the Queen. The King and Queen are a Bella, worth 20. The Jack of clubs is with Opponent 2, and it still does not save them.
The line that wins
The hard AI, playing all four seats with the cards face up, won eight of nine tricks with clubs as trump.
Trick 2: the Jack takes the Queen
Your Partner leads the Queen of clubs and Opponent 2 plays the Jack for 33. That is the opponents' only trick.
Trick 9: the big one
Your Partner leads the 10 of clubs, Opponent 2 follows with the Ace of diamonds, you play the Ace of clubs and Opponent 1 the 10 of diamonds. Your Ace takes 52 points with the bonus.
The takeaway
Even when the Jack goes to the opponents, a suit with the Ace, King, Queen, 10 and Nine on your side can win. Read runs and Bella for the 20 that comes with the King and Queen.
