Fluffy Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 [hv=n=sxh9xdaj9xcxxxxxx&w=saqxhk10xxd108xxcaq&e=sk10xxxxxhxdxxc10xx&s=sjxhaqjxxxdkqxckj]399|300|[/hv] When partner led ♥9 I really regreted not having doubled but what did I know?? I won ♥A, then played ♦K. partner was awake on this deal and dropped ♦J under ♦Q. Then I played ♣J. Hardly enough if the opponent trusts our skills, but she opted for raising with ♣A and went 1 off for +12 IMPs a double gets a quick club lead and a push.

655321 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Ah - I understand now - you are saying that a club lead lets the contract make for a flat board - I thought you were saying that a club lead beats the contract.

jdonn Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Ah - I understand now - you are saying that a club lead lets the contract make for a flat board = I thought you were saying that a club lead beats the contract. I'm still confused since I don't see how we could ever beat it, which I thought Fluffy was implying we could. Must have something to do with west's 14 cards and there being 14 clubs, even though removing a club from west doesn't help us at all.

Fluffy Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 we beated it because declarer hoped to discard 2 clubs under ♥K and ♦10, but ♦10 was not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
