MarkDean Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I think I would be pretty good at bridge if I could see all four hands all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLOL Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Right, you could make this even if east had KJ of hearts because you just have a black suit squeeze on west so it's not really that interesting. For full style points pitch the queen of hearts and then later lead small to the ace after west has pitched the jack :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbforster Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 The line at the table was less optimal, perhaps as Mark suggests. A low heart was pitched from dummy at T4, all the tricks were run (eschewing the simple blacks squeeze), and eventually the Q♥ was lead and covered(!) leading to the expected 3N+2 (if not by the double dummy route). I like the Q♥ pitch at T4 myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Correct me if I'm wrong but tossing the ♥Q from the table will lead to: [hv=n=shxdxcx&w=sqhjdct&e=sthk9dc&s=sjhatdc]399|300|[/hv] And no squeeze as East can throw the spade and South is squeezed first.

Simplicity Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Correct me if I'm wrong but tossing the ♥Q from the table will lead to: [hv=n=shxdxcqjx&w=sqhjdct9x&e=shk9dc&s=sjhatxdcx]399|300|Scoring: Unknown ♠ [space] ♥ x ♦ x ♣ x ♠ Q ♥ J ♦ [space] ♣ T ♠ T ♥ K9 ♦ [space] ♣ [space] ♠ J ♥ AT ♦ [space] ♣ [space] And no squeeze as East can throw the spade and South is squeezed first.Sadly you are indeed correct i believe our previous posters had envisioned: Dealer: ????? Vul: ???? Scoring: UnknownDiamond played for ♥ pitch - guard squeeze[/hv] but noted that you could then simply cash the ace and catch him in a simple black suit squeeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
