Jlall Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 There is no danger partner has T9xx since he would have played the ST. Ergo I cash a spade, either partner had encouraged and we cash our spades or partner will give me a suit preference signal and I'll know which minor suit to play. I guess there is some risk to this... if partner has QT9 x QTxxx Kxxx and declarer xxx AKQxxx Ax Qx I have to shift to a club to avoid partner getting squeezed but thats pretty random and declarer has to guess it anyways. Partner could just as easily have the DA and no club honor and play is a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyC Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Agree with Jlall. Partner is denying the Ts so cashing another spade can't be wrong here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yep, it is a more interesting problem (but perhaps with no such elegant solution) if partner plays the ♠10 to trick one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Or if declarer play the T at trick 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Agree with Justin, cash the ♠K and watch partners suit preference to know what to switch at trick three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
