kgr Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 You are in 4♠ contract. Because you played on ♦ in stead of on ♥ (that was probably bad play); you reach the following end position:[hv=n=shaqjtxdxc&w=shkxxxdjtc&e=shkxxxdcxx&s=s2h32da32c]399|300|[/hv]You already lost a ♦ and a ♠ trick. You just played a ♦ to the K in North to discover that ♦'s break 4-1. The lead is in North (dummy) and you can loose one more trick. The ♥ position is not really known, so I gave both opps the ♥K.After all it just felt great to play the right card. :D (seeing my smile after the play, the opps commented - friendly - that it is good that we all still have something of a child in us :) )I couldn't resist to post this. :P What card do you play?

Guest Jlall Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 disagree with hannie. HJ is first choice, and HQ is second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 What can I say Justin... you are wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I disagree, the 10 is the best, following the rule of playing second position lowest, but honnor over a honnor, and since 10 is not a honnor it will not be covered with Kx. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 This is where you both go wrong: when I play the queen, opponent with Kx will think "aha, Han wants me to cover the honer with an honor.. so surely I shouldn't!" Feel free to ask me to explain this in more detail when you see me online. My lessons are free if you have a star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Then why is the Q better than the J? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
