pclayton Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Wow. Played the ACBL tourney (matchpoints) yesterday and saw 3 6-6's our way in the first five boards. Brian had the first: ♠AQT98x, ♥void, ♦Q8xxxx, ♣T. Pass on his right. He tried 4♠ and bought: ♠K6x, ♥KQJ, ♦K, ♣Kxxxxx. ♦lead to the A, ♠5, 10, J, K. Now what? I had the next two: ♠AQJTxx, ♥x, ♦void, ♣AKQJxx. You open 1♠, 2♦ on left, pard passes, 3♦ on right. Now what? The NEXT hand (same opps): ♠void, ♥KQJxxx, ♦x, ♣AKxxxx. 1♦ on right. Your call?

Your call? #1: I might have tried playing A♠ first to try leading a ♣ towards the K♣. If that loses and another ♠ comes back, win in hand again, ruff ♦ on board, then ♥ dumping a ♦ if it's not covered. The plan is to score 6♠ in hand, 2♥, 1♦ and one ♦ ruff on board. #2: 4♦ for now...a direct 6♣ might goad opps into a phantom sack #3: 2N: Ununsual 2N showing the two lowest unbid suits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 ♠K6x♥KQJ♦K♣Kxxxxx ♠AQT98x♥void♦Q8xxxx♣T > Play 4♠. ♦lead to the A, ♠5, 10, J, K. Now what? Run ♥K discarding club and later ruff ♦ high (as high as you can, that is :lol:). Making 6 spades, 2 hearts, 1 diam, 1 ruff. ------------------- ♠AQJTxx♥x♦void♣AKQJxx. > You open 1♠, 2♦ on left, pard passes, 3♦ on right. Now what? 6♣. No methods available to take the guess out of it, so I'll just bid a slam makes in many layouts. ------------------- ♠void♥KQJxxx♦x♣AKxxxx. > 1♦ on right. Your call? If I have unusual 2NT available, I'll use it. Then drive to the 5-level all by myself. If 2NT is not available, I'll bid 3♥ and later 4/5♣.
