Phil Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 The Chicago rules in this group I play in ghoulies all undoubled part scores. Here's a hand we had last Wed. night: w/r You open 1♠. Pass, pass, 5♦ - AP [hv=d=w&v=n&n=sjxxxxxxxhqxxdctx&w=sakqt9haktxdxxxcx]266|200|Scoring: Chicago[/hv] You lead the ♥K for count and partner plays the 2 (standard). Now what?

Fluffy Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I think declarer has 0175, We wanna keep as many exit cards in partner's hands as we can. Lets start with ♠A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbforster Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I don't think South balanced 5♦ with xxx♥ which gives him 0=1 majors and a pile of diamonds and some clubs. So the question seems to be 1) try for a club ruff and play partner for the A♣, or 2) hope partner has a slow trick in both minors (Kx♦, Qxx♣) and will get them both if we don't break those suits I was originally thinking of trying for a club ruff, but I think there are more hands with soft values that might pass my opening than those with the A♣. I'll try a passive A♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
