Fluffy Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Very simple, but I would probably miss it at the table. I didn't see this one written anywhere yet. Q874 AK53 Self explanatory, so a simple "I knew it", "I solved it" or "obv" (if you are Jlall) should be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 all i see is K (J,T or 9 drop from RHO) and low to Q hoping LHO insert an honor you win and have and endplay position on LHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Tu Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Lead low from dummy to exploit RHOs who put in the 9 from J9xx too often?(playing you for AKtx plus guessing wrong next) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Lead low from dummy to exploit RHOs who put in the 9 from J9xx too often?(playing you for AKtx plus guessing wrong next) That's a good thought. I knew it involved a defensive error on some 4-1 break, but for some reason it just wouldn't come to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I know how to guarantee 3 tricks There is a safety play for four tricks guarding against a 3-2 break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 If this is a side suit in an elimination position, you should cash the ace before endplaying them, gaining when either opponent has a singleton honour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 If you have Q873 AK102 And cash the ace and RHO puts the 9, restricted choice against an expert says 9 is not singleton (1/3 vs 2/3). It looks right to play low from dummy so you can trust more RHO's 9, but when it appears, what are your chances now, I can't get any real %.

benlessard Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Ive calculated that holding J9xx RHO neutral strategy is to put the 9, 1/3 of the time. As declarer if you believe RHO will falsecard more than 33% and you hold AKTx you should play the Q at trick 2 (pay the stiff 9 protect against j9xx falsec) otherwise cash the K and protect against a stiff 9 and pay to the falsecard. So the gain from playing low from dummy is 33% of j9xx and stiff T on the other side = slighlty less than 1%. This is always a gain unless RHO never falsecard (wich is a bad strategy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfi Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 When you have the 10, you want to lead from dummy for the first trick in the suit. It makes it harder for RHO to falsecard with J9xx, since they might be giving up a natural trick in the suit by playing the 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
