My “Simple Saturday” columns focus on improving your

basic technique and developing logical thinking.

You execute a “hold-up” play as declarer by refusing a

trick you could win. You may damage the defenders’ com-

munication. But you must not hold up when a shift to

another suit would be even more threatening.

Today’s West leads the king of clubs against 3NT, and

declarer may be tempted to hold up his ace — especially

since he will get two club tricks if West leads another club.

But East will signal with the deuce, warning his partner,

and then if declarer holds up, West may shift to the deuce

of spades. The defenders will force out South’s ace and will

have five tricks when East takes the ace of hearts.

Declarer is safe if he wins the first club and attacks the

hearts. The defense can take only three clubs and one

heart, and South has four diamonds, three hearts, a club

and a spade.

Before you make a learned-looking play, consider the

consequences.

DAILY QUESTIONYou hold:♠K863♥♥A763♦♦ 652

♣8 2. The dealer, at your left, opens one heart. Your part-

ner doubles, and the next player bids two hearts. What do

you say?

ANSWER:Your partner has opening values or more with

help for the unbid suits, especially for the other major.

When your side has half the deck and a trump fit, don’t sell

out cheaply. Bid two spades. It may look odd to bid a weak

four-card suit, but you’re really “supporting” a suit partner

implied.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYfor Saturday,
Aug. 31, 2019:
This year, you seem focused yet
charmingatthesametime.Peo-
ple could have a difficult time say-
ing no to you. If single, you might
be surprised at the amount of in-
terest you draw. You really have
your choice of the person and the
type of bond you want. If you're
attached, your significant other
might wonder why it is so easy to
say yes to you. In a sense, you are
repeating the period when you fell
in love. LIBRA can influence you.
Be careful what you agree to!
ARIES(March 21-April 19)
You might drag a bit through the
day. Obligations demand your at-
tention, and you might wish for
more free time. Do what you
must, and trust that you will clear
enough time for enjoying life. To-
night: Go with another person's
spontaneous idea.
TAURUS(April 20-May 20)
You are more anchored than you
realize. Toss routine and go for
summer fun. A child or loved one
will appreciate the levity nearly
more than you do. Realize that
the end of summer is around the
corner. Tonight: If you're tired,
take a nap.
GEMINI(May 21-June 20)
Your playfulness emerges even if
you try to act in a serious manner.
Your creativity comes out when
you're dealing with a family mem-
ber who can be difficult. Your hu-
mor allows greater give and take,
especially with any grump you
might run into. Tonight: Ever
playful.
CANCER(June 21-July 22)
You could feel as if you need to
learn more about a particular top-
ic before you make a decision. The
conversations you have are en-
lightening and permit you to get a
firm handle on an issue. Mean-
while, make plans with a friend.
Tonight: Play it mellow.
LEO(July 23-Aug. 22)
You could be off considering a
new venture. Be careful before
committing to certain financial
obligations. You know your limits,
so honor them. A risk might feel
good, but consider whether you
can handle it if it doesn't pan out.
Tonight: All friendly, out being so-
cial and enjoying yourself.
VIRGO(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You could discover that you do
not want to follow through with
your plans. Give yourself the luxu-
ry of not acting like a Virgo, but
like some other carefree and
sometimes flaky sign. Change
your plans. Make yourself happy.
Tonight: Partying the night away.
LIBRA(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Mellow out during the daylight
hours. Do not stress yourself out
or do anything taxing. Confirm
plans for the evening, and if you
do not have any, make some. To-
night: Could be a memorable
night.
SCORPIO(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Make the most out of the day. You
will delight in being with friends
and around crowds. You sense a
mood of celebration that becomes
contagious. Touch base with a
summer friend. Tonight: If you
can, continue into the wee hours.
SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You might have invited some
friends to celebrate Labor Day
with you. You seem to be busy,
perhaps hosting a memorable get-
together. In any case, you seem to
be able to extract all the fun asso-
ciated with this weekend. To-
night: Just don't be alone.
CAPRICORN(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Your ability to move into different
situations can be stilted at times.
You could finally feel at ease with
someone who lives a very differ-
ent lifestyle. Tonight: A force to
behold.
AQUARIUS(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Others make the first move. You
could be delighted. Do not play
games, but rather be direct and
positive. Spend the afternoon
with a loved one or a dear friend.
Tonight: Take off for a concert or
movie. Insist upon being enter-
tained.
PISCES(Feb. 19-March 20)
You do not need to make excuses
for being as frivolous as you
might want to be. Just go off and
be you. Notice how many people
seek you out. With as many invi-
tations as you have, choose the
ones you like the most. Tonight:
Let the good times roll with one
special person.
