kenrexford Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Normal contract. Maptchpoints. I think the world is kind. If LHO has the club King, with a Jack-high spade suit, he'd lead a higher spade, or he'd lead a club (at other tables). The only way to screw this up, then, is to become a pessimist. Club Queen. When that holds, I'm all in. Spade Queen. Heart King, then Queen overtaken. If the heart Jack drops, I'll cash two more hearts. Spade Ace. If the spade J-10 drop, I'll cash one more spade. More likely, I just get a boring one pitch and a club thrown. Then, diamond Jack, hooking unless covered. If it fails, I'm still all in. I win the club return and do the same thing.

inquiry Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 i guess at imps i might play club ace, heart queen--overtake, small of diamond to the 9, plan is to overtake spade queen and then diamond jack. All this grabs 2H, 1S, 1C, and hoped for 5D... Now rather or not this is ideal at matchpoints, well that is a different question. At mp, I think win club ACE, Diamond ACE (if both follow),king/queen of hearts, then low diamond towards jack. Good thinks happen unless diamond king is onside and club king is offsides. I can live with the 2NT bid.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then saw that with KT onside im no good anyway so played the ♦A.In my line is it better to run the ♦J or play a small to the 9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
