dogsbreath Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 This hand from last weekend's InterProvincial tournament in Dublin..4H by South, no opps bidding..South NorthS: x A1097H: AK7xx JxxD: Kxx J8xxC: J8xx AK defence starts with 2D to A and 10D returned.I'm not good at deriving the % lines on this sort of hand....any ideas? ruffing 3 spades in hand and trying to make 10th trickwith JH looks attractive.. or cash AK Hearts and play x-ruff? .. this looksdead-in-the-water if Hearts 4-1 .. or did I miss something?

luke warm Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 i don't know either, but i'd take KD, spade to A, ruff spade, club to A, ruff spade, club to K, ruff spade, draw 2 round of trumps and lead a club toward the HJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Hmm....seeing that this was in Ireland and seeing that you were playing it, Martin, I am surprised you are not in 7H xx and lost the event by one Imp!! Seriously, I think ruffing 3S in hand, using the AS and the C entries looks best to me. That gives you 9 tricks and good chances for the 10th. PS. How did you go in the tournament?

rtewari Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 How about winning diamond king and playing back a diamond. If RHO has 2 diamonds and LHO plays a 4th diamond for RHO to ruff, maybe RHO is ruffing with long trumps. With diamonds 3-3, you are home on 3-2 trumps or single trump queen. Probably better than to play for 4-4 spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
