How do you tackle this hand? Would you do the same if it were IMP scoring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 My inclination is to play the club Ace, club King, club Queen, ditching a heart. I will then cross-ruff and hope I survive a while. I understand that the clubs may get ruffed. If the second club is ruffed, I still plan on winning some return and ditching a heart, even when the third club is also ruffed. I might survive that way anyway if LHO has Ax in trumps. I don't know if this is ideal, but it is what I would do in practice at the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I would probably just take the ♣A and play towards the ♠Q. Then take the ♠K and play to lose just 3 trumps. Didn't check it, but I think it wins on all 3-2 breaks and a couple 4-1s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
