How do you play? (If you play ♣A then ♣4 will not show up...LHO started from ♣6 or ♣64 ...It is not impossible that he found a lead from ♣Q also).How do you play 6♥?

quiddity Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 The lead looks like a singleton to me. The first line that comes to mind is to try and strip East of diamonds before giving him the club trick: Win the CA, DA, D-ruff, H-finesse, draw trumps, SK, then lead clubs to East and hope he doesn't have any diamonds left.

wclass___ Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 ♣6 must be singleton, else this is not a problem... Draw trumps; ♠K; ♣T (ducked); play last 2 trumps discarding ♠&♦ [hv=n=saxhdcaj9&s=shdaqxxcx]133|200|[/hv] East has ♣Qx and 3 more cards. West should have 3♠2♦ or 2♠3♦ If east has 2♠1♦ you can make this by cashing ♦A;♣If east has 2♦1♠ then cash both aces in dummy and endplay west with ♠ So.. read opponent cards to get the ending right.

quiddity Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 East has ♣Qx and 3 more cards. West should have 3♠2♦ or 2♠3♦Nice! I particularly like the position: [hv=n=saxhdcaj9&w=sqt9hdkxc&e=sxhdxxcqx&s=shdaqxxcx]399|300|[/hv] South leads a club to the ace. If West throws a spade, he gets thrown in with ace and another spade. If he throws a diamond, East gets thrown in after SA and a club.

kgr Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Thanks for the answersWest had:♠Qxxx♥Kxx♦KJTx♣64I started with ♥ finesse and did go -1.I wondered if it was best to start with ♥ finesse or start on cross ruff. (West's ♦s were not very good for his DBL). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
