kgr Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 [hv=d=s&n=sxxxhkxxxdqxxcxxx&s=saqxxhatdakxxxckx]133|200|Scoring: IMP2NT-3C3D-3S3NT[/hv]I'll give you 2 hands given to me after tournement (..and a couple of beers). This is hand 1. You reach 3NT and LHO leads ♥2 (4th best) for RHO's Q.How do you plan the play?(Probably experts will easily find this...Try it without looking at other answers.PS: one of the 2 hands probably comes from a book.. fI don't know which one..

han Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I'd play a diamonds to the queen and take the spade hook. If the spade hook fails or the diamonds split 4-1 I can play a club to the king later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRJ Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Suppose after winning QH with Ace of Hearts I play the 10H. LHO covers, I duck. If he continues hearts I take the King, play AK of diamonds, diamond to Q and exit with the last heart. This makes if diamonds are 3-2 and (as seems likely on the lead) west started with Jxxx in hearts. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 yes, that does sound much better :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgr Posted August 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 - When this problem was given to me, my first guess was ♥A followed by ♦'s and exit with ♥'s. But RHO has ♥Q9x. Then I saw the correct line (Not bad after a few beers :P ). - In reality RHO played ♥J to the first trick. The best chanche is still ♥A followed by the T?- I wonder how many experts find the right play at the table for the two hands I posted and how long they have to think about this (..Do you see the correct line right away?)
