rogerclee Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 A hand from my friend lchen: [hv=d=w&v=e&n=sha64daq54caqjt92&s=sjt87ht9872dkj7c3]133|200|Scoring: IMP[/hv] (4♠) - 4NT - (P) - 5♦AP West leads the ♠A, you ruff in dummy, and are overruffed by the 6. A club comes back, and LHO plays the ♣K. Plan the play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 discard at trick one? :). I don't find anything better than ♦3-2 and ♥2-2 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 The club return definitely feels as if RHO has 5 of them, making LHO 9211/9121/9301 or 9031 That means that once I've drawn LHO's trumps I have 5 clubs, 3 diamonds and a heart. I need two more tricks, which are only going to be trump tricks. That means I can only afford to draw one round of trumps, so let's hope that LHO is 9211, RHO 0355. This has become Fluffy's line, though I don't need the singleton high diamond. Diamond to the king or jack. Heart to the ace. Clubs discarding hearts. Heart ruff low. Claim. Now, if LHO was 9121 (or 9031) all along I'm going to look silly, because I had the simple line of diamond to hand, spade ruff high, draw trumps, cash winners (this is JLOL's line). And this layout (RHO being 0445) is actually more likely, because (i) RHO might have doubled with 5 trumps and a spade void, and (ii) it's more likely on distributional grounds. So it's a better line. But the first line is more fun. p.s. do you agree with the 4NT bid? That would have been my third choice after double or 5C.

Fluffy Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 This has become Fluffy's line, though I don't need the singleton high diamond. Neither Do I, I was looking for scoring ♦7 em passant, but it didn't work. Then edited my line. In the end this is just an easy deal, cash your winners before cross ruff, you can find it on any book :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I, as Fluffy, also play for RHO to have: ♠Void♥???♦T986x♣xxxxx Problem is when RHO plays small on the diamond lead from dummy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfay Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Wow this hand is 10000% different from what it was last night... relook... While I agree with Frances that RHO might have doubled with 5 trumps and a spade void RHO with 5-5 in the minors still seems most likely to me. So I agree with Fluffy.
