Dummy Reversal

Most commonly, in a trump contract, we accumulate extra tricks by getting a ruff or two in the short hand. However, we «reverse the dummy» when we go for extra tricks by ruffing in the long hand. For example, in a 5-3 fit we might be able to count 5 trump tricks plus a ruff in the short hand for a total of 6. Or, by «reversing the dummy», we might get to 6 by counting 3 ruffs in the long hand plus 3 trump tricks in the short hand. Those ruffs in the long hand must be taken early in the play, before drawing trumps.
