vin1990 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 After looking up a number of card combinations (motivated by reading a couple of card combo threads on here) in a hand recently played on BBO this 6nt came down to a card combination in diamonds I'd seen before because of this board. Had to play the diamond suit for 4 tricks. [hv=n=sa85ha3d1053cakq92&s=sq93hk42daq762cj5]133|200|Lead ♥J[/hv] Out of 11 who played in slam (nt diamonds or clubs) 3 made (one with defensive help) - 2 played diamonds 'correctly'.

TimG Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Wow, suit play lists 16 lines, by far the most I've seen for a suit combination. Changing the spots to T32 opposite AQ654 reduces the options to 7 lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Leading the ten looks sexy since it picks up stiff 9 and stiff 8 on our left, but it loses to Jx onside which is a huge loss, not to mention stiff K on our right. Starting with low off dummy seems clear. After that we must put in the queen as we have entry problems if we play the ace. So a simple low to the queen for me. I'm guessing this is wrong since so many declarers went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuroth Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Bridgehands.com has two approaches for AQxxx opp Txx. Actually, it has 2 lines for 5 tricks, 2 lines for 4 tricks, and 2 lines for 3 tricks. This is certainly beyond my ability to optimize at the table. I suspect I'd just finesse the K and hope.

benlessard Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ace and low to Q is the same than low to Q. The T here help pick up Kxx---Jx the 7 is irrelevent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
