Apollo81 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 1. ♠A, change the ♥J to low and I would lead trumps2. ♠K, not playing preemptor for 2 aces 3. ♥A, don't like any lead4. 3♣5. Dbl, close6. pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 1. ♥3. I think a trump lead is pretty much obligated2. ♠K, preempter shouldn't have 2 Aces. Only A, J and 9 are left. If LHO has them all we won't be able to make, so the K is clear. Then we'll need to ruff some ♦s to shorten dummy's trumps to equal length as LHO.3. Why didn't I support partner's ♥s?? :) I guess it's rotated somehow. Then I lead ♦3.4. 3♣ wtp5. pass6. Dbl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Low trump ♠K ♥A, worst of evils 2♣. I would bid 3♣ if not Ghestem. Double, minimum but have to bid with shortage Pass - double is killing partner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 1. Hmm. Anything might cost. I'm leaning towards a diamond.2. SK. Don't think I would be intending to run the ST if LHO had switched to a minor3. Do you mean West was dealer but East opened? If not, how come i didn't raise? Anyway, I lead the HA4. 3C if I wasn't playing ghestem. But that now leaves 2C for me.5. X6. Would have X'd 2C the round before. But now..hmm pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianshark Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Sorry, board 3 you are the 1♥ bidder (hence being on lead against 3♠). I just had the dealer as east instead of west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I think that 3♠ was one of the weirdest bids I've seen lately. Sorry not to have much to contribute here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 1. Jack of H 2. King of spades 3. Ace of Heart 4. 1 NT, okay this is forbidden, so 2 Club 5. X 6. pass, would have bid 2 Heart after 1 Spade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
