awm Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 [hv=d=w&v=b&w=sajxhajtdakjxcaxx&e=sk8xxhxdtxxckqjxx]266|100|Scoring: BAM[/hv] Playing BAM in a strong field (day two of Reisinger), you bid 2♣-2♦-2NT-3♣-3NT-4♣-6♣ to reach the club slam (2♣ strong, 3♣ puppet). What's the best line for this hand? I've arranged the most likely lines in a poll but feel free to suggest some other alternative if you prefer. The lead is a small heart to the queen and ace.

dburn Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Would begin with two rounds of trumps, and need to know whether they are 3-2 before continuing. If they are, plan to cash a diamond, then run the jack of hearts pitching a diamond, then try to drop the queen of diamonds in two or three rounds before falling back on the spade finesse. But if trumps are 4-1 the fourth round will squeeze the West hand, and I will need to consider other possibilities. I also need to know, of course, whether the jack of hearts will be covered (or will hold the trick). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
