manudude03 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Let it run to the K, cash a top trump. Club to the ace, finesse hearts, ruff a club high, finesse again. Draw the last trump and claim. Once you pick up the 4-0 trump split, you make if clubs are no worse than 4-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 There were significantly more challenging defences available e.g. a diamond lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petergreat Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 GiB calculates that a diamond lead would make declarer lose trump control and the contract. I played AK and a low club ruffed by the Q, followed by trump finesse. South discarded a spade on the low club. When I tried to use a spade to get to table to finesse again he ruffed. Seems like manudude03's line is best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 was anyone else puzzled by the 3♣ bid? Was this in the context of a strong club method? If not, 3♣ is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be less puzzled about 3♣ once you look at the rest of the auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
