Partner played the 4 & the Q only the D J is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 PD does not have the jack, else he had played the queen on the first trick.So I try a Diamond now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 A third diamond is necessary if declarer has both major-suit aces and ♣A10xxxx or worse. A heart is necessary if he has something like A xx Jxx AJ1098xx or Ax xx Jxx AQxxxx. It's hard to estimate the likelihood of these, because they depend on how good the opponents' bidding is. I think it's a guess, but I'd try to cash partner's ♥A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I would very much doubt that declarer had all 3 aces on this bidding... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'm leading a diamond. If partner had QJx he could have played x-J or J-Q, so I believe x-Q could only be from Qx. Besides, why would TC put the ♣7 on the table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 blush...He passed first hand, well that makes the defence with the 3 diamond tricks quite unlikely. Needs something like Void, Axxx,Jxx,ATxxxx to work. Given the bidding, this is possible, but the odds of partner having an ace are higher.
