655321 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Maybe a spade to the ten at trick 2.This will make whenever spades are not 4-0 - spade to ten and jack, spade ruffed by West, DT&C.If West plays a quack at trick 2, ducking should work.If spades are 4-0 I will have another think when I learn the bad news :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 An immediate spade duck also seemed best to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Agree - spade to dummy's 10 at trick 2. You might even make when spades are 4-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I usually get these wrong, but what's the problem with cashing a couple of hearts, starting with the jack first, before leading the spade 10 out of dummy? edited for general stupidity.

Free Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Start with a ♣ discard, RHO may have his Ace... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I would pull Ak of H if both follow, I am home by playing the ten of spade.If hearts are four one, I can still get the spades right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguelm Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Ducking first trick, discarding a club seems pretty clear and mandatory to me. You should be alerted to the fact (although remote) that both Majors won't split favorably. If you ruff in hand, you might not be able to grab your spades later. In fact, if they continue with Diams. you should duck again discarding one more Club :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
