sartaj1 Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 DT. Make declarer commit before he finds out that the heart suit is divided 5-2 ( or maybe 5-1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 D5 or D10. With what hand will he bid 6C? he has LOTS of clubs, Kx or better in spades, no hearts. So he my not be able to finesse the DK. If he has AQ and you play anything, declarer can play some hearts, and when he finds out about the heart distribution, he'll play diamond to the AQ (puts the queen). If you play diamond now, he has to descide now if he's going to finesse or not without knowing anything about our hands. Maybe the 10 is better to show no interest in that suit...

WGF_Flame Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 i agree, should return a dimond now.hoping declearer hand look something like:kXXX----AQXXKQTXXhe will have to play the A of dimond and his best line imo is to play for the hearts and he will go down.You were right to mention its imp cause this declerer hand or any hand with only 5 clubs (with 6 clubs the game is cold) will noty bid like that in matchpoint.

And if pd get's in to play a D back it is already down 1 hehehe. Mike ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbreath Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 dont agree D switch is clearcut. I expect p has 2 OR ZERO hearts.. must seriously consider returning H. would like to know more about my p's bidding style ..why no o'call or jump in S?

keylime Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Your hand, at IMPS is A854Q9542KT53 dummy tables 73AKJ8754A962 TRUMP exit. Why on God's green earth am I going to give the heart position away? Declarer's on a 3-0-5-5/2-0-5-6/3-0-4-6 hand shape likely. I dare not do anything else but exit a trump because it caters to three spades and forces declarer to break open the heart suit for themselves. It also reduces the ruffing power of BOTH hands because declarer's bound to ruff hearts in closed hand and diamonds in the open hand. Any other exit could be LETHAL.

luke warm Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 i'd never lead a heart back here.. only time it is right is when partner is void, and my hearts at least prevent all of dummy's from running.. i think i'm leading my spade 4 back, hoping dummy can't handle being forced in 2 suits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
