matmat Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 IMPS. ♠ AKT62♥ AQ876♦ 92♣ K ♠ 8♥ T3♦ AKT3♣ AJ9632 the lead was the ♦6, i assume you play low, rho puts in the ♦J opps play standard leads, carding, attitude etc. 1♣ - 1♠2♣ - 2♥*2NT - 3NT AP * - intended and taken as forcing, possibly not best methods, deal with it.

kenrexford Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I'll win, club to King, and small heart toward 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Same as Ken. By doing so I make it difficult for RHO to rise with a heart honor for a diamond through. In the end, I hope to take 2 spades, 2 diamonds, 2 clubs and 3 hearts. 4♥ would be a more comfortable spot here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Suppose that I cross to a club and play a heart to the 10. If it loses on my left, to either the king or the jack, LHO will probably play back a spade, because anything else will seem unattractive. Then what? I seem to be reduced to reduced to playing for hearts 3-3 with the king onside, or ♠QJx in one hand (although if that layout exists they might have played back a heart to get at the entry). What about just playing a heart to the queen at trick two? That works against:- Hearts 3-3 with K onside.- Hearts 4=2 with K onside, because LHO can't attack my diamond entry.- ♥K offside but ♠QJx in one hand.- Some odds and ends like ♥J9 doubleton onside.
