This is the proper line of play at IMP scoring, where making your bid contract is important and overtricks are much less so. However, at Matchpoint scoring, taking the 25% chance of both finesses working for an overtrick might score a top board. If either one of the finesses works (50% of the time) you're no worse off and score the same as those who "played it safe." Of course, it also risks scoring a bottom board with a 25% chance that both finesses fail, but ... <br><br>Do you feel taking the 2 finesses is the correct strategy for Pairs matchpoint?

Do you mean Keycard or Roman Keycard?

What happens if East has the Qeen of diamonds. Then you have given up a winning finesse AND you will still have to guess the heart return.
