gnasher Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Play a club towards the jack, and: - If ♣J loses to West's ace, I know that he doesn't have ♥A, so I can set up two heart tricks without letting West in. - If East rises with ♣A to play another spade, I'm going to play West for ♥A. I cash the clubs and then decide what to do. If I think diamonds are breaking, I cash them. If I think East has four diamonds, finesse ♦10. If I think West has four diamonds, he will have been squeezed out of two spade winners and forced to bare ♥A, so I exit with a low heart. (In real life, it will probably turn out that West had QJ10xxx Qxx xxx x and I've gone down in a cold one.)There's one extra chance: if I play for diamonds 3-3 and find out that East has four, I can exit with the last diamond, hoping that east started with ♦A after all. - If ♣J holds, try to guess where the ace is. If I think East has ♣A, play a heart to the king, then revert to clubs. If I think West has ♣A, play more clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I was gonna lead ♣K hopping to pin singleton ♣9/10, but gnasher's line looks better. I wish you that LHO didn't have ♠QJ9xxx ♥Qx ♦Jx ♣9xx :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
