xcurt Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Maybe this should be in Interesting Bridge Hands. You are east defending 4H reached as follows: [hv=d=s&v=n&n=skj7ha75dacakt862&e=saq98h9dqjt32c975]266|200|Scoring: XIMPRotated to make south declarer[/hv] P - P - 1C - 1D1H - P - 4H - all pass Do you agree with 1D? The play goes D4-A-Q-6CA-7-S2-4CK-5-S5-JC2-9-H4-3DK-5-S7-2D7-8-H5-JC6-? Leaving this, with declarer having won all the tricks so far: [hv=d=s&v=n&n=skj7ha75dacakt862&e=saq98h9dqjt32c975]266|200|Scoring: XIMPRotated to make south declarer[/hv] Do you ruff or not? Why?

CSGibson Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I'm not going to take the time to do an analysis of the play, but I will speak toward the bidding: My preference would be a 1 spade overcall when NV, because 1) it's more preemptive and 2) it's what I want partner to lead.

pclayton Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 In general its right to uppercut in these cases, but it seems that either South doesn't know how to bid his 4=5=4=0 or has a 3=6=4=0 and what we do won't matter. Curious to see the entire hand. Maybe I'll learn something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcurt Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Oops my fault either play beats the contract. Your partner misdefended later. Apologies. Declarer began with Txxx, JT86x, K9xx, --. The defenders played themselves into a smother position somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
