Phil Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 A few from Riverside: [hv=n=s93haj32dqt732c54&s=skj2hk9dj4caq7632]133|200|[/hv] You play in 3N (at one point, RHO makes a competitive 2♠ call). LHO leads the ♥5 (attititude). You win in hand with the K, duck a club (RHO wins the 10) and the ♠10 hits the table. Over to you. [hv=n=s93haj32dqt732c54&s=skj2hk9dj4caq7632]133|200|[/hv] You play in 4♥; 1. ♦3 to J, 2. trump to K (10 on left), 3. A♣, 10, 4, 3; 4. ♣8, Q, K, x Now what?

Fluffy Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Looks that both need table feeling. On the first one take play ♠K, it has the small chance to create the impression of being played from ♠Kx and we want LHO to continue. On the second one I will cash second heart before the ruff. Hopping RHO has doubleton trump or not ♥J. Ruffing first might lead to overrufff ♠ to west's ace adn another trump. I think this comes down to "who has ♠A?", if its East we should ruff now and endplay him if he overruffs with doubleton. There are 2 points against this line: he might not overruff the first club but the second (very impressive line) when we have already destroyed dummy's entries and ♦ menace. But most important, West led a diamodn instead of a spade, adn restricted choice says he is likelly to have ♠A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you play the ♠K it loses to the Ace and another heart (the 4) comes back from LHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 he posted the problems and nobody cared to answer. On first hand I think we are down unless someone holds both ♦AK. My guess is that the bidding went: 1NT-(pass)-2♣-(2♠) I think it is more likelly that West has ♦AK , but if he has it I also need ♣K doubleton to suceed. Also west is allowing me to win ♥9, maybe on purpose, I don't accept such gifts. I will cash ♥J+Ace and run clubs then hope East has ♦AK (maybe he bares the ace????)

Phil Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 The first hand is probably too tough LOL. LHO held ♠A, ♥T8754, ♦Kxxx, ♣Jxx. To make you have to either drop the ♥Q or float the ♠10. I'll hold off on the 2nd hand, I think its pretty interesting, but no one except Gonzalo has taken a shot.

Fluffy Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Congrats to RHO for not play ♥Q on first trick. I am not used of this defences :P How do you plan on making the contract after playing ♥A if you lose d♠K to LHO's ace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
