Trumpace Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 East is dealer and opens the bidding with 3 hearts (showing a 7 card suit). You somehow reach 6♣ and LHO leads a small spade (to which RHO will follow). You see: [hv=d=e&v=e&n=sj93ht9876dkqjc42&s=sakth2d2cakqjt976]133|200|Scoring: RubberLead small spade.[/hv] Plan the play.

frouu Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I think east has ♥AKQJxxx and west is void in ♥ and has ♠Q and ♦A because east chose to open 3♥ instead of 1♥. Therefore I will win ♠ lead with ace, draw trumps and lead my ♦. When west wins it, he is left with and ♠s and ♦s, therefore I will have access to dummy whatever he returns. If he returns a small ♠, i'll play J from dummy, and then play good ♦ to discard my ♥ loser, if he returns ♠Q, win with K in hand and I will have J in the dummy as an entry. ♦ return will transport me to dummy.

bill1157 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 win spade ace, pull trump and lead a diamond. Now west must lead a spade or adiamond back, giving you an entry to the diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vuroth Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Key is trick 1, I think. Seems like people are seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpace Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yes, key is trick 1. Would also be an interesting hand from West's perspective if dummy had ♦KQx instead of KQJ. In that case West must duck when you play a ♦ to the K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantumcat Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Make sure to win with the ace of spades so your jack will be an entry. After playing some trumps and losing the ace of diamonds, he has only Q and some small spades, and diamonds left. If he plays a diamond great, if he plays a spade you can win the jack and enjoy diamonds, if the Q spades win the K then play T to the Jack. if you are greedy and dont think about it, you will have no small card to enjoy the jack with. I played a similar hand a few days ago: [hv=n=sq986h75dckqjt987&s=skt4hak2dak6542c3]133|200|[/hv] It's not the exact hand but it's similar enough. ♠7 lead, low from rho.I won with the ten, now lho ducked the ♠A when I played the king after the ♣A was knocked out and i could never go back to dummy to enjoy them. If I tried the low one he could pop in with the ace and i dont have another small one. If I won with the king, I have two small ones and he can't stop me getting to dummy! edit: pretend contract is 5NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
