Flameous Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 X, ♥K, then ♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Easy pass if RHO had passed, easy double when RHO bids. Sure they might make but down 2 seems more way more likely when RHO was under tremendous pressure to bid and we seem to have 4 tricks. I mean one time pard have the DA? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromageGB Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Initially planned to pass, now X.Lead ♥K, get count. If no ♠A in dummy, 2 hearts and a 3rd for a ruff if that's on. If ♠A in dummy, take ♣A before giving the heart ruff. If no heart ruff on, play the diamond instead of the 3rd heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 X of course. If RHO passed would depend on how conservative a bidder partner is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 X. Diamond. If 4D would have been passed around, 5D. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 1) Put down dummy in 4♦. 2) Double. 3) ♥A. Can't imagine not leading a heart from this holding, but if I am not allowed to lead a heart I probably try ♣A (hoping to deal out a ruff) before a diamond. Partner has bypassed 3NT - he has long diamonds, perhaps he has the Ace, but often he will have something like an eight card suit to the Jack.

skjaeran Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I'd have passed 4♦. Now I double, of course. I lead the ♥A. If there's no ruff, I most probably will switch to diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csdenmark Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 1) I pass. Can be difficult enough 2) I pass. I wont risk misunderstandings 3) I lead diamonds. My values are running nowhere but a possible ruff is likely to. 5 diamonds out likely to be 2-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 partner had x x qjt9xxxx Kxx and I doubled and lead a diamond :P well I was lucky because diamonds were 2-2 and there was no club discard. I was thinking of bidding 5♦ but would have probably passed (as you can see there are only 10 tricks) what do you think or rho's decision on aqjxx xxxxx ax j ?

jdonn Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'll be laughed at by some but I think he should double 4♦, not bid 4♠. Obv bad if partner bids 5♣ but that's very unlikely at this level (even when we have a singleton IMO) and you are money if partner passes the double or bids 4♥.

yahooya Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 1. my p opened 4♦, if RHO pass, I prefer 5♦, I do think that is a big chance!2. if RHO bid 4♠, then I would 4NT(Blackwood), I got ♠K, my p with short ♠, so 6♦ is my expectation.. I trust my p! he must have ♠X, ♥XXX, ♦AKQJTxxx, ♣X , Dbl is a negative biding. :rolleyes: :P :P3. if pass 4♠, I prefer to lead ♥A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
