Joe Mutter

“You have changed my life, and
for that I am so thankful!”
Dear Joe,

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for making such a

difference in my life and hearing. After losing most of my hearing in

2008 after my chemo, I never expected I would hear as good as I

do now.

Yes, I have had other hearing aids that I thought were good,

but nothing compares to the hearing aids I have now. By your

expertise, you were able to get the best hearing aid for my hearing

loss. I feel like I can talk to people and know that I will be able to

hear what they have to say to me. And, for the first time since their

birth, I can hear my grandkid’s real voices and my wife’s voice the Randy & Donna Childress

way I used to hear.

Bailee Mutter was so helpful coordinating with our insurance company. She did a wonderful job

and so very caring. You have changed my life and for that I am so thankful. My wife also wanted to

thank you. She said your office was the answer to her prayers!

Sincerely, Randy C.

ZERO, ONE, TWO OR THREE ROUNDS? K52

By Phillip Alder - Bridge Columnist Q94

Les Dawson, an Englishman whose profession you will soon divine, said, “My mother- AJ83
in-law has come round to our house at Christmas seven years running. This year, we’re
having a change. We’re going to let her in.” K43

South is in four hearts. West leads the spade queen, which wins the trick, and continues K9764
with the spade 10. After declarer ruffs that, how many rounds of trumps should he 87 853
immediately draw: zero, one, two or three?
Q 10
When North rebid one no-trump, South just went with the known eight- or nine-card
heart fit. (North would not have bid no-trump with a singleton heart. With, for example, Q J 10 9
3-1-5-4 distribution, he would have rebid two clubs.) In this deal, a raise to three no-
trump would have worked fine too, but that was far from obvious with the singleton SOUTH
spade.

Declarer might concede four tricks: one spade, one diamond and two clubs. He must
eliminate a club loser. One chance is to find the suit splitting 3-3, but that happens only A K J 10 7 6
one time in three. If the clubs are 4-2, South has to ruff his last club on the board. Since
this requires only one trump, some players would think that they could afford to draw 52
two rounds of trumps — but not here. When East wins a club trick, he leads his last
trump to kill the ruff. A652

Declarer should draw one round of trumps, then play three rounds of clubs. Dealer: North; Vulnerable: East-West
