Ant590 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Bid to a truly appalling slam last night. [hv=d=e&v=n&n=sqtxhaxxxdxxca7xx&s=sxhkxdakqjxxcqt98]133|200|Scoring: MP(2♠) - 3♦ - (3♠) - dbl -(pass) - 5♣ - (pass) - 6♣ - all pass [/hv] Ace of spades is cashed, then another spade which everyone follows to and you ruff in hand. How are you going to play the trumps? [experts invisible please] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtK78 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 While it is more likely that LHO has a singleton ♣K than ♣Kxxx on the auction, since I had to ruff trick 2 in hand I can no longer pick up the ♣Jxxx on my right. So I have no choice but to play for the only holding that allows me to make the slam - ♣Kxxx on my left. Lead the ♣Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuroth Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Agree with art. your only chances are singleton honours, and you don't have the entries for the other option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
