rhm Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Terrible slamPlay a ♣ to the queen.If no ♣ jack drops Play ♥ ace and ruff a ♥ lowIf the ♥ King drops draw trumpsOtherwise play a ♣ to the ♣ ten and ruff a heart with the ♣ aceruff a ♠ and draw trumps and run ♥ If ♣ jack drops run the ♥ jack if not covered because you can not afford more than one ruff in dummy. If the slam comes home do not complain about hard luck for the next 3 months. Rainer Herrmann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nige1 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Dealer: ????? Vul: ???? Scoring: Unknown ♠ Axxxxx ♥ [space] ♦ Kxx ♣ Axxx ♠ x ♥ AQJ98xx ♦ x ♣ KQ109 You bid to 6♣ without opposed bidding. West lead a small spade. What is the best percentage line? Alternative to Rainer's line: ♠A, ♣Q, ruff finesse ♥Q, if that wins then ruff finesse ♥J, If RHO covers ♥Q or ♥J then ruff low, cash ♣A and draw trumps (hoping that ♥T drops in three). If both finesses win, then lead another ♥ and sniff the air. If LHO follows with ♥K, then ruff low (sometimes losing when JLall is your LHO), cash ♣A, and draw trumpsIf LHO follows low, then ruff with ♣A and finesse ♣T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
