Interesting strategy, BB. Take an Ace away from the person who has not only the lowest score, but who plays directly after you and therefore has the most control over taking tricks away from you.
In a hand with 4 overtricks, no less. I would think it would be to your advantage to let me make my bid for three reasons.
1) I'm leading into you, which means that you, of all people, have the best chance of also making your bid (no Wizards stealing your tricks if I lead).
2) With 4 overtricks, there's a lot of power out there and by setting me, you help someone else make their bid, which means more contention for that top spot.
3) Since I play right after you, do you really want me to have a vendetta?
Guess we'll just have to see how this plays out
