Fluffy Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hi! I´ve finally won my first BBO tourney!, probably I am not on uday´s black list and he will keep track on my IP and stuff :) (just joking). ok, ok, it was just an 8 pairs 16 board IMP tourney, and I was playing with a gold star, still I had something to do, didn´t I? :lol: Oh yes, the hand (I know you don´t care about what was above written :unsure: ) [hv=d=s&v=a&n=s108643hq82d964c83&s=sa7hak973dak73ca9]133|200|Scoring: IMP[/hv] Opponents faield to bid during the whole bidding (and they could at low level) but you sadly land in 4♥ when 3NT seems better, and receive the ♥J lead.

cnszsun Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 If West has one trump and East has 4, i hope the following line will work:win first trick with ♥Q, play ♦A and K, duck 3rd ♦, if East has 4 ♦s, you can ruff 4th ♦ in dummy and finesse his trump, otherwise, you play 4th ♦ and pithching a ♣ from dummy, later ruff a ♣ in dummy instead.

Trpltrbl Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Playing for ♥ 4-1 and either ♦ 3-3 or 4-2 with long ♥ with long ♦. Mike :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted May 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 [hv=n=s108643hq82d964c83&w=s52hj104dq1082ckj42&e=skqj9h65dj5cq10765&s=sa7hak973dak73ca9]399|300|[/hv] Simple play: ruff a ♦ with ♥8 works, with the ♥10 at left it will work regardless you duck first or 3rd♦. Discarding a ♣ may work, but you need to be very careful!, if you win ♥A looking to ruff a ♦ easylly when East has 4♦ and play 3 rounds of ♦ you are going to fail: 4th ♦ for ♣ discard and ♠switch. After you ruff a ♣ you are locked in dummy unable to draw the last trump before it gets promoted with a 3rd ♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlPurple Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 You can't duck the first diamond, or you might just find your 3rd one gets ruffed - unless you played off another round of trumps first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 If you play a round of trumps first, and give away a ♦ later, you won't be able to ruff a ♦. So just play ♦AK and exit one... Btw, congrats Fluffy :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlPurple Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 if you duck the first round of diamonds then before you play the 3rd round you must draw a 2nd round of trumps. Works with the layout as it is but fails if the hand with 2 diamonds has 3 trumps, which is more likely anyway by the law of vacant spaces.
