awm Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 This one cropped up in a two-day pairs event, but feel free to give a line at IMPs if you prefer; just making this contract will be a good result. [hv=d=w&v=b&n=sk9865hqj2dk432c7&s=sq7hkt43da65caqj9]133|200|Scoring: MP[/hv] The contract is 3NT by south, on the auction: P - P - P - 1NT (15-17)P - 2♥(transfer) - P - 2♠P - 2NT - P - 3NTAll Pass The invite is somewhat conservative, but it is matchpoint scoring. West leads the ♦Q (standard leads). What's your plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I'd duck the 1st diamond, win the 2nd on the board and play a spade to the Queen. If it wins, I'll continue with a spade. I'll hope diamonds are 4-2, the club hook is on and spades are 3-3 or 4-2 with Jen-x on my left. I'm budgeting to lose 2 spades, 1 diamond and a heart. Hopefully I'll make 3 spades, 2 or 3 hearts, 2 diamonds and 1 or 2 clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 duck a diamond, knock out ♥A and play a club to the nine later if able. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
