West leads the 4♥ I see 2 extra tricks in spades after trying and losing or not the finesse. And probably a club after taking out the ace... My problem are the ♦ and the ♥ not really much of stoppers there and afraid opp's may attack there... What would be a good plan here... what should we try out first... If the finess on ♠ what opp would you try and put in the lead W or E? Ty allPedro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfanclub Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I would save the king of spades...take the first heart, take the ace of spades, finesse the spade. That way, if the finesse loses and I'm forced to lead a minor, I can later lead the ten of diamonds from dummy instead of a minor card from my hand.

pclayton Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 This is a tough hand. Even if you guess spades, you need another trick in diamonds or clubs. If we misguess spades, the opponents are in a position to take 3 hearts (at least), 2 diamonds (at least) and a club, as well as the spade we lost. At the table I'm pretty sure I'd lead a club up at this point. If LHO rises to clear hearts, I may not even need to guess spades. If the club wins, I can play spades and be no worse than -1. If the club loses, I'll try to figure out who has the ♠Q. I'm more inclined to play LHO for it, since I will have trouble picking up Qxxx in RHO. If the club loses, and I misguess spades, I won't like it much, since I will need to find several pitches on the hearts. But I think this is better than playing spades right away.

PedroG Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hi and TY, Phil you hit the nail in the head I think, I tryed the finesse on the Q♠ losing to the RHO, that knocks out my last ♥, so when I lose the minor ♣ I get overhelmed by the ♥ and the ♦...
