Free Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Bidding went:1♣! - 2♦! - pass! - pass3♠ - pass - 4♠ - passpass - pass 1♣ is 15+HCP any2♦ shows 4+♦ and a Major (also 4+ card)Partner's pass was followed by saying "oops", which we didn't use (otherwise I'll blast to game). He wanted to double :o LHO leads ♥A. You see [hv=d=s&v=b&n=s76xhqtxdat8xcxxx&s=saqjtxxxhkxdjcaxx]133|200|Scoring: MPWest leads ♥A, RHO plays ♥2 (normal count and attitude, but he's known to falsecard now and then so you can't always count on his signals)[/hv] - What is the best line (% wise) of play in MP?- What is the best line (% wise) of play in imps? There are imo 2 possibilities: either you play low and hope to get that ♥Q for a ♣ discard, or you drop ♥K under the Ace to create another entry to catch ♠ 0-3.

000002 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 i guess, it's very important ,the attitude of opps will be ♦ hint, hardly ♣ since 2♦ overcall.so, this is the best line suggesting by me ,remain ♥ king to pitch ♣ with the 3rd ♠ entry. regards 000002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 MPs: play low. Take ♦ switch, finesse spade, cash ♥K, play ♠A, enter dummy with last spade to take club pitch. 11 tricks if it goes well. IMPs: can't come up with anything better than the MP line.

bid_em_up Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 In either form of scoring, thank your lucky stars that you didn't receive a club lead (making the contract dependent on finding the spade K onside or picking up the stiff K offside). The percentage play is to play for 2-1 spades (78%) vs. 3-0 onside (1/2 of 22%=11.0%). Clearly playing for spades to be 2-1 is a 7-1 favorite, as opposed to creating two entries to dummy to finesse spades twice, regardless of the method of scoring.

Free Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Ok, without any information it's clear that playing for ♠ 2-1 and a ♣ discard on ♥Q is percentage play. However I think the odds have changed. Why does LHO lead ♥A? We know he has at least 4♦ and at least 4♥. With AJxx it's a rather unusual lead, isn't it?
