adhoc3 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Both red. IMP game.Hold:♠AQxx ♥AKxx ♦AQx ♣Jx. When you're counting hcps, RHO open 3NT. Double, Redouble, pass, pass!, pass. Assume you lead HAK and you find the dummy is: ♠Jxxx ♥QJTxx ♦Jxxx ♣void. Everyone followed 2 hearts. Now what to do? The story is hiden below, hope you enjoy :lol: . I was holding the 20 hcp hand in a F2F game. RHO did not pull from 3NTXX, I was somewhat superised. I believe when RHO run his clubs, my PD will help me make right decision. So I just exit with a small clubs and wait for my winners coming ....and .... really fast...... the declarer showed me his 9 card clubs! ♠Kx ♥xx ♦void ♣AKQJTxxxxAnd I realized I was just blind on dummy's void clubs.

Fluffy Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 yeah why not a ♥? :lol:, I guess declarer became happy after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I am cashing the ♠A now and see if pd like them and if Not I will cash ♦A.I don't believe opener has solid ♣ and 2 side Kings. I just have to find my pd with a K. GBB :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adf Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I am cashing the ♠A now and see if pd like them and if Not I will cash ♦A.I don't believe opener has solid ♣ and 2 side Kings. I just have to find my pd with a K.I agree with the inference, but as far as the play, it's better to just lock in dummy with a ♥. Declarer will now play towards his presumed King and you can now get all your winners for at least +2000, more if you know partner has a pointed ten.

beatrix45 Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 :( WTP? Another heart produces a sure one trick set. If pard has a king, I will be able to determine which one, and a really big set is in the offing. Please, don't tell me RHO's suit is diamonds.

matmat Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 I have nice partners. They would have signalled the suit they have a card in on the first two hearts, seeing as the overall attitude towards hearts and clubs should be known.

HeartA Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 hehe yep you coulda just played a heart. a heart, of course, to ensure at least 5 defensive tricks.... To exit with a club was just insane. As adf pointed out, you don't need to guess which K pd has. After cashing 3 H winners, you would surely know that.

Winstonm Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 I like the club switch - cut down on dummy's ruffing power. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearmum Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 lead another ♥ WTP? I am assuming declarer has CLUBS ( A LOT of them) BUT if he is stuck in dummy he can't make them before WE come to 5 tricks?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I had this happen once, sort of. Partner had just learned Gambling. Holding a void, partner did not redouble. The opponents elected a lead, whatever it was. Then, seeing a big hole in dummy, attacked dummy's short suit -- the void. I thought that was neat.
