pclayton Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 1. Agree with 3N. 2. You can either take the club finesse for 12. Or you can play for a winkle if RHO has the ♠A or AK, the ♣Q (I think he needs the 4th heart as well). It's early, and I'm too lazy to post the ending but imagine cashing all the red tops leaving 2 spades in your hand and one club. Dummy has 2 clubs and either a heart or a spade. What does RHO hold?

CSGibson Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'd bid 2NT, upgrading to a balanced 18-19 count, but I have no problem with 3 NT. As for playing to trick one, I would play small to the ace. You can always finnese later if you feel it is right, but I am interested in seeing RHO's discards after I run the reds. His double probably does indicate AK of spades, and if he has the Q of clubs, you can end-play him (as established by other posters). If he's discarding clubs freely and easily, you may decide to take the finnesse. All about table feel and judging your opponent at that point.
