In some situations, you may acquiesce to temptation

Lane Olinghouse, an author of self-help articles, said, "Those who flee temptation generally leave a forwarding address."

In yesterday's deal, East had to resist the temptation to play third hand high when his highest card was only an eight. Then, it was right to give count by playing low from a tripleton. This permitted partner to work out that declarer had started with only two cards in this suit.

What is the situation today? May East succumb to third-hand-high temptation?
