luke warm Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 hi misho imo lho played king for K/Q, K/x, or stiff K... restricted choice (for what it's worth) says play low.. the ace only seems to work when lho was K/Q originally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 The % play is to play the Jack of ♠ at trick 2, and west wins. When you get in to play the ♠ Ace. 35.61% Chance of getting 3 tricks, not all that good. Mike :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 I dont think I would have led a ♥ at trick 2 to ruff. I think I would have led ♠J. Not sure why. Instinctive. Just feels right. And as I always say: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 I would play the A, the only way this can be wrong is if west got K9 doublton, with Q9x east wouldnt lead trump, and even with Qxx he probebly wont.I dont think you played well before this trick, i dont see a point in ruffing heart and then playing trump. I would (if i decided to play A of heart on trick one) play spade at trick 2, the heart ruff can wait, and will only cause you a lose of controll over the hand.

mishovnbg Posted April 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 I did't play hand in example, but kibitz it. Interesting in this board as I already mention is your opps are STARS despite nobody notice it. Ability to play against good players include usage of their play like an edge of billiard table. In this particular example good player didn't play K♥, to make his possible Qxx in trumps for sure -1, so solution is very simple if you don't think they love you and want to make you happy with trump gift :blink: - ♠A.Misho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 ♣K switch?, where is the ♣ signal preference from east? I can´t see it, how did he know it was the good one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 I did't play hand in example, but kibitz it. Sadly I did play. Sadly East lead a Spade, sadly, I went wrong and played low spade. I did take a long, long time to play low. I did consider the need to play the spade ACE. I finally decided not to because I thought my RHO wanted me to play the ACE, so I decided maybe !HK was onside to six to the king. Why? Because any neutral return, I was going to dummy to hook the spade anyway. Oh well. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
