RichMor Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Low Heart. Sometimes the Diamond ten will be the winner win but that's too clever for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 4th from my longest and strongest has let me down the least in the long run, and I don't see any good enough reason to make an exception here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobowolf Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 ok, I'll bite & get creative... T♥ hoping for something like AJx in dummy opposite stiff 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Low heart. Trying to pin an honor in declarer's hand with the K or 10 could backfire if we spear pard's QJ. We might even end up blocking the suit if pard has QJx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 In Vegas I thought for a while about leading the king from KJ10xxx after an auction like this. I decided not to be a genius and declarer had the stiff ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonottawa Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Guess I should finish this story. We have one winner (as I post this, at any rate.) The unbid suit carries the day. Led a ♥ without too much agony at the table and then wondered if it was at least a close decision when that went horribly wrong. Doubt there's much to learn from this hand other than 'If you bid as if Qx is a stopper, sometimes it works.'

mike777 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I see playing BART gets you to 4s but I guess that is not an important lesson. 1s=1nt2c=2d!2H!=2s!4s 2d=BART relay...many hand types most common is 5 hearts.2h=2-3 hearts2s=tweener hand....2 card support with an Honor in spades.....10-11 hcp. Also possible if you play West hand is worth an opener: 1c=1s1nt=2d (g/f c/B)2h=3c3s=4s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
