jdaming Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 looks like a dummy reversal. I will:1) ruff the first2) attempt to pull trump (2 rnds) anything but 4-0 and I...3) ♣ to the A cash the A♥ and ruff another ♥4) now I lead the T♣ hoping LHO doesn't cover so I can drop righty in on the lead Many things could happen here hard to cover them all but that is my very optimistic plan.

oldman5757 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I thought this was an interesting little hand. Anyway, yes, ruff the opening ♥ lead and play ♠ AK. If trumps are 3-1, cross to ♣ A (LHO plays the 7 and RHO the 8), pitch a ♣ on ♥ A, and ruff the last ♥. Now you can try putting RHO in with a 2d round of clubs (playing him for Jx or Qx), or better, the third round, and if successful, he is endplayed. Making 4. If trumps are 2-2, we should try to make 5. You can play along the elimination lines above, but simplest, and probably best is to play for a favorable ♦ layout. Run the ♦ 9, playing LHO for the 10. This succeeds as RHO wins the Q and can cash the A, but LHO's 10 will fall, enabling you to pitch 2 losing clubs on your 2 ♦ winners. Your play would also have suceeded if LHO started with 10xx, instead of 10x. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
