EarlPurple Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Looking at the hands but at none of the answers, my immediate instinct is to play 2 rounds of hearts throwing a diamond, cash a top trump (West will show out, I presume), ruff a heart, ruff a diamond and lead a heart (I don't think East can well by ruffing in high) to ruff and now a club to the 9, endplaying East even in trumps.

EarlPurple Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 actually my reply can't be right because I'm still one down. If East started with 3 hearts then he will not be discarding a club on the 4th round of hearts, he will be ruffing in with his SJ and exiting with a trump or a club and I will have to lose 2 club tricks.

EarlPurple Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 ok hearts are 4-4 and West as Ax in clubs and East QJx, so yeah of course I can make it by the line I just said (except that I can't afford to play any rounds of trumps) if West ducks the first club they take 1 club and 1 trump, if he plays his ace then they take 2 clubs but no trump tricks. Of course, if this is the lie of the cards then they could have beaten me simply by leading ace and another club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
