You have shown your good club suit and get a small club lead.At the table this board was boring because hearts split 3-3 but how do you try to play this board as safe as possible, is there a 100% safety play? thx,Tomi2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 There is no safe line, just try the 2 red suits and if nothing good happend there you have to guess (base of everything you've seen so far) how to finnese the spade suit. This isnt 100% but its pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajm218 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Interesting hand and its too late at night to work out what line is best so i'm going to try for a line that allows me to find a bit out about opps distribution before I commit to any line. I'm going to win the lead, cash the KQ♥ and then cash four rounds of clubs throwing a heart from dummy and then cash the A♥ throwing a ♠ from dummy. I've played like this beacause i get to see at least two opp discards and with the KQT♦ in dummy am hoping to find out who has worthless diamonds and/or who can afford a spade pitch. I am hoping to have garnered enough information at this point to decide between the ♠ fineese either way, or whether to play for a ♥/♦ squeee against either opp or a ♠/♦ squeeze against either opp. I guess I may play for a squeeze if it looks like theres a chance of one, as this will also work if thers is QJ doubleton or tripleton ♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I would start by playing 3 rounds of diamonds, discarding a spade from hand. If LHO has the diamond length, I can play for a double squeeze, coming down to ♠A9 ♥Ax opposite ♠KJT ♦9. This works when the red suit guards are in different hands, which seems substantially better than guessing the ♠Q (when I am guessing, at least). If RHO has the diamond guard, I don't anything better than what Flame suggested. Double dummy you can always succeed, but I am pretty sure there is no 100% single-dummy line.
