Hanoi5 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Depending on where I win the first trick I'd play a heart to the 9 or a club to the 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Chances are that the lead is from 86(x+) or 76(x+) than specifically J876(xx). I suspect LHO doesn't have great hearts or great diamonds based on the passive lead. I can't tell what's going on in clubs, although I'm a little worried that LHO might have led more aggressively with a vulnerable club holding. If the club K is off, this is going to be a pretty tough hand anyway, since we are probably losing 2 hearts (if we go after them), 2 diamonds and a club. If West wins most of the defense's tricks, attacking diamonds will be difficult. I like: 1. If the ♠10 wins, duck a club, win the ♠Q in hand, club finesse and pray. 2. If the ♠10 is covered, win, ♣ to Q, A and a 3rd club. If I ever get the diamond shift from RHO, stick in the Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
