Cascade Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 How does the play start? Good question. There wasn't actually any play as the hand came up in bidding practice at a BBO partnership bidding table. Lets assume a normal heart lead - partner's suit. ♥ 5 to the ace ♣ 6 at trick two LHO follows with the four ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplicity Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 From the bidding i would imagine that both opponents are (63) in the majors (its unlikely that both failed to show 4 card suppost at the first opportunity, but it would depend on methods). With this in mind i know i can't pick up KJx onside, so im just playing small to the queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtvesuvius Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 ♦ to the Queen. I cannot pick up KJx onside, so I'll try to pick up Kx... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlam Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Why did North bid 6♦? Didn't 5♣ already show a very distributional hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Why did North bid 6♦? Didn't 5♣ already show a very distributional hand? Yes is did. Although perhaps not necessarily this good. 1. It is not completely clear that south would bid on with as little as ♦ Kxxx or similar 2. Even if partner does not have this holding 6♦ might make 3. 5♥ could also be making and 6♦ a good sacrifice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 IMO West has 2 diamond losers for his double, but the east rejected the double wich he wouldn't do with ♦Kx. I just don't know, go for low to ♦Q it can't be very wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
