Not exactly what happened, but what should have happened and wondering if there is a way to avoid the trap. low spade to the K and A 9D,T,J,K,3 round of Sdiscarded a H from dummy and a D from my hand West discarded a discouraging H. Return of the Q of D winning on dummy. Cash the K of H and run the 9 of club losing to west T returning a 3rd D :( Now instead of cashing the D (squeezing myself) discarding a club and low C to the K endplaying W.ive played low club to the K. Losing 3S,1D,3C for down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonottawa Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I think you played it normally up until the ♦Q was returned and from there you've got to take a view. I don't see a 100% single-dummy line from there. Your line is 100% if W had started with a doubleton ♦ (which seems likely from the ♦Q return.) I'd chalk this one up to good defense (and a lucky lead from a marginally weaker ♠ suit instead of a marginally stronger ♥ suit.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted May 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 i made a mistake in the post the ending is cashing a D and discarding the HJ or discarding a club keeping a stiff K. and west probably had the spade 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
