The double finesse

Step 1 of 5

Two chances instead of one

Ace, jack, ten opposite three small. Both the king and the queen are missing, and a single finesse would win half the time. Here you can take two: lead small towards the jack, and if it loses, lead small towards the ten later.

You need West to hold either of two cards, which is a much better bet than needing one particular card.
