Loses to LHO holding Qx, Qxx tyia You can always lead the six and duck if 2nd hand plays low. It tends to freak people out, but it's 100% guaranteed to give you 3 heart tricks. If you need 4 or 5 heart tricks, I think the normal way is the only play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianshark Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Well yes but that's a horribly innefficient way of doing it. Unless your playing for 5 tricks, I think you should cash the Ace first. It will also give you 3 tricks from every possible combination, but also let you make 4 on all layouts except QT8x(x) with LHO or QT8xx with RHO. The correct play for 5 tricks is cashing the K and hooking the J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tu Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Playing for max tricks, if LHO falsecards too often from Tx, K then low to the 9 is something to be considered. Hook J is correct vs. best defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
