Queens And Jacks

This rule is not always true, you should take into factor your judgement, risk, and ability to forgive.  But it happens.

Your partner has thrown his second ace of spades.  You have the other two in your hand, as well as a jack.  Some people, and this is a safer choice, will throw that ace down to let their partner know to come back in that suit.  However.  Some may throw down that jack, signifying that they want that suit to be led back to them.  This is important because it lets your 2nd ace not be used as a lead back card and wasted.  Then it is able to take an extra trick and potentially changing the outcome of the hand drastically.

There are times when there is not a card to play besides a jack, or your partner may not know the “rule”.  So you also need to forgive when you partner does not come back in that suit, or plays a jack instead of a queen.

Using the Jack on the Ace “Rule” can help you get an edge in that tough situation.
