Deep Finesse

A finesse against 2 or more cards:

          AJ952

          763

To pick this suit up for 1 loser we must play low to the 9 on the first round and hope LHO has either QT(x)  or KT(x).

In this example West has bid spades:

          AQT8

          7654

To pick this suit up for no loser we play low to the 8 on the first round, and, if LHO was dealt KJ9... we can get 4 tricks.
