Pass 2♠ Pass 3NT PassPass Pass 1. 1NT was 15-17, 2H was transfer to 2S’s Partner leads the C4 (4th best leads), and we see the following dummy.Eventually, a low club is played from dummy and our JACK loses to the KingDeclarer helpfully leads the Diamond 9 ducked all around then the diamond 10. partner plays the Diamond 3 and then 7 (standard signals) on the first two diamonds. Plan your defense. [hv=d=r&v=t&w=sqt3ht87dj86ct986&s=sj98ha94dkt954ck4]266|200|Scoring: MatchpointsFor some reason your RHO dealt again (ok several boards later), and he opened 1♦. This was passed out despite an agreesive balancing partner. For better or worse you lead the heart 4 (too late to change it now, later maybe decide if you prefer something else). [/hv] First few tricks (leader then cards) 1 You H4, 7, J, K 2 RHO S5, 8, Q, 2 3 LHO S3, 4, K, 9 4 RHO SA, J, T, 6 5 RHO S7... plan your defense.

benlessard Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hand 1 opp shapes probably ?????KQJT9K?? partner shapes ??????873???4 partner has 5-7 pts (opener has 5 diamond kqjt9 so hes more likely to have 14-16HCP then 15-17HCP) partner cannot have qjx in ♥ otherwise he would have lead them. So if partner have Kxxxxx873Axxx return clubs to hold to 3 if partner hand is kqxjxxxxxxxxx return spades is best if partner hand is xxxjxxxxxAxxx heart switch declarer make 6 on a h guess. if declarer has bare KQ of ♠ and 3 lousy ♥ he will always cash them before playing diamonds. final conclusion in MP i will return clubs its safer.

Winstonm Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 #1. I think declarer holds: KQ, Jxx, KQJ109, Kxx. I'm winning the second diamond and putting a low heart on the table. #2. It appears declarer is 4432 with AKxx, KQxx, AQx, xx. I will ruff low and declarer will probably pitch a heart and partner a heart. A low club then to pard's Queen and a diamond return. Declarer has to finesse. If declarer ducks the first diamond I put in the 9 to force the jack. If he plays the Q from AQx, I win the king and return a diamond. Declarer has to play a heart, so I win, and play another heart - declarer doesn't know this to his hand so will most likely ruff in dummy and now can't score the small diamond in hand.

bid_em_up Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Please put dummy on my left in these problems... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Please put dummy on my left in these problems... :) Lost that battle long ago. I argued that declarer should always be south (hidden or not). See for instance, http://forums.bridgebase.com/index.php?sho...indpost&p=14090. The policy became and has been for years, the player is always south. That seems to be the bbo conventional way to show it. ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bid_em_up Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Just rotate the hands.....post as Northwest? no?[hv=d=r&v=t&n=sqt3ht87dj86ct986&w=sj98ha94dkt954ck4]266|200|Scoring: Matchpoints][/hv] (we dont really care what direction you were actually sitting in, just rotate them accordingly) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
