(a) Against an average player in the East seat, lead to
the queen, hoping that the suit is splitting 3-2 and
that the king is with West, or that East has the king
and will win the trick on the first round.
(b)
Against a strong player, play a low card from both
hands, allowing someone to win the trick cheaply. Then
finesse on the second round. This works when the suit
splits 3-2 and West holds the king, and when East holds
the singleton king. Against a strong player, finessing
the first round doesn't help, because he will always
play low with king-doubleton or king-third, and you
will never make five tricks (because you must always
take the percentage play of finessing on the second
round). But by ducking the first round, you succeed
on one additional combination, singleton king on your
right.
