the hog Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 I am going to play Nth for something like QxxxxKKxAKxxx C look to be 5/5 around the table. The Q of S is a suspicious card - why play the Q from QJ? There is no guarantee that dec does not have the KI doubt he has Kx of H as then a D continuation beats declarer. A of D, loosing H hook and H contnuation leaves declarer with 2S a H and 2 c losers.I am going to play a H to the A hoping to drop stiff K, take the D hook, A of D pitching a S and then hook the H.

Free Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 If they are playing Majors as 5-cards, then south has supported with only 2 Spades. So he must have some HCP, possibly the DK. I think I'll play DA and DQ. If the King doesn't drop, then I'll discard a Spade and play HA and ruff a small C; otherwise a ruff, play HA, ruff a small C and discard a Spade on DJ, hoping the short D are together with the short trumps.

Are you ready for the big boys? i doubt it :) anyway, after i take SA i play DA, ruffing finesse with Q (tossing spade), then it depends.. if DQ covered, trump and play HA, ruff a club, DJ and toss spade (unless HK fell, then draw trumps first) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you ready for the big boys? I wonder about carding, the cA lead is fro AK? Do the play standard count signals? If so opener has a 4 card spade suit which is strange. Why open a 4 card spade suit? Maybe he has something like QJxx, KJx, xxxx, AK and didn't want to open 1d? Maybe....Then the dK is stiff offside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inquiry Posted November 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 From the convention card I downloaded, this is what I can make out about NS bidding and signals. North was Terje AA, playing with Gleen Groetheim. They play 14/16 1 NT in 1st/2nd seat vul (as here), but may have 5 card major. The 1S bid is limited to 11-15 hcp, but can include a four card suit. There leads are Ace from AK against suit, unless AK doubleton specifically. On their leads, high is discouraging, low encouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
