pclayton Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 [hv=d=s&v=n&n=s832ht8djt63caq32&e=s4haqj962dq4cj975]266|200|Scoring: IMP[/hv] Pass - 1♦ - (2♣) - 2♥2♠ - double - AP Right or wrong you sit for the x. You get a mild laugh out of dummy. Pard leads the ♥K. You overtake to shoot a trump through. Pard cashes the Q-A-K (you pitch 2 hearts) and shifts to the ♣8. You play the J losing to the K. Declarer plays 2 more spades (pard following to the 1st). What are your discards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jlall Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 And declarer pitched? I assume a heart and a diamond since otherwise we could pitch a club freely. Anyways, I would pitch a club. If declarer has, say, JT9xx xxxx Ax Kx a diamond and a club work out equally, and if declarer happens to be JT9xx xxxx Kxx K a club is obviously much better.

karlson Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 If we're playing declarer for JT9xx xxxx Kxx K, why didn't we start pitching clubs before pitching a 3rd heart? Seems we've already blown a trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Ya true if we are going to pitch a club on the last spade we are supposed to do it a round earlier, sometimes they dont play their last trump though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
