bridge
We win the opening lead with the ace. Holding up is not recommended, even though, in theory, a 7-2 division with the ♥A accompanying short spades guarantees the contract. However, holding seven spades to the king-jack, even the most conservative of players would enter the bidding. So, in practice, this chance is non-existent.

Hold up (bridge)
In the card game of contract bridge, to hold up means to play low to a trick led by the opponents, losing it intentionally in order to sever their communication. The primary purpose is to give as many tricks to opponents as needed to exhaust all the cards in the suit from one of their hands. If that hand regains the lead, it will not be able to put the partner on lead to cash its tricks. Hold up is one of basic techniques in play.
While mechanically identical, a hold up is in a suit played by the opponents while a duck (or ducking) is a manoeuver in one's own suit. Nevertheless, the terms are used interchangeably with duck or ducking more common.
