Here's the flip side of the same question. I had this come up last night.

You are defending a contract, and you see a sure set. You signal pard accordingly, yet pard takes a tact that seemingly lets declarer slip the contract home, if declarer holds hand "a", but leads to multiple undertricks if declarer holds hand "b".

How much do you trust pard?

I guess now in retrospect in is not so much a matter of trust - if you don't trust you shouldn't be playing - but a matter of whether or not you believe he is focused. If focused, you play for the multiple set; if not, try to steer back to the sure thing.

Your views?
