Guest Jlall Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I would discourage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I'd play the ♦4, which normally is encouraging in my methods.A thinking partner would see that it's got to be suit preference for ♣'s on this occasion, nothing else make sense IMO.And partner would then switch to a low ♣ holding ♦Kx and a high holding singleton ♦K (attitude).If partner switches to a high ♣ I'll win the king and return the ♦T, suit preference for ♥'s.

Ditto this, but add in one thought. I'll trust partner to make correct carding plays. However, I ain't trusting 100%. As a redundancy, I'll win that high club with the club Ace, just to be extra cautious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I thought I'd win with the ace, but I'll not let partner in the total dark.Then again, I'm used to playing with awake partners who trust my suit preferences.Playing with a total unknown I might have won the ace too. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Six I show count here and partner will know I could have played a higher card, if it matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 For those wishing to give even count with a hi-lo, how can the 8 not be the right card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 For those wishing to give even count with a hi-lo, how can the 8 not be the right card? Not necessary - think about it. In this particular case you have the luxury of showing count and suit preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWM Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I dont like diamonds, if West started with a singlton why help him set them up by encouraging P to lead another. P has shown interest in the round tops, and you have help there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I play the 8 in an attempt to get partner to switch to a heart before it is too late. The 10 is too dangerous, and no other card is likely to get the message across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Discourage what else ? Why would you want to play count in a situation like this, just doesnt make any sense ? From partner point of view a ♦ continuation or a shift is possible. playing standard signal. low switch clubs. middle or weird card. switch ♥ If you have problems with this hand i strongly suggest you to go grabs some defense books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
