Phil Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Any particular reason why I didn't play a diamond back at T2? The hand seems easier to manage if I ruff a diamond in hand and rely on the spade finesse or the ♦10 dropping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dellache Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I don't think it's necessary to play a diamond at trick 2. You can still manage your main chances by starting with a trump imo. Well now, do you regret not to have played a diamond back :) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suokko Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Any particular reason why I didn't play a diamond back at T2? The hand seems easier to manage if I ruff a diamond in hand and rely on the spade finesse or the ♦10 dropping. Because defense could have defeated you then. Shape must include at least 3 spades for east which means shortness in one of minors. So if you lead minors defense can make east to pitch too many ♠ so they will get ♠ ruff for 4th trick. Next I run 3 rounds of ♠ taking the finesse. and then lead ♦ towards dummy to get chance for cross-ruff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
