PaulLanier Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 5♥, after a Deal 3.1 analysis, found at:http://jplan.org/HeyMrTamManBridgeLinks/bbo36060analysis.pdfThis time I used the standard Deal table format and verified the results statistically. On most of the hands, 5♥X goes for less than what EW can make. On most of the hands NS make only 3♥. The duplication of values and length in hearts lowers the expectation for NS. This is also an interesting LOTT hand. Expected Total Trumps are 19+ (EW rate to have 8-9 spades, 8-9 diamonds, and 7 clubs, so for LOTT a trump or two is added for the EW two-suited fit). So it makes sense that most of the time, if NS make only 3♥ (9 tricks), then EW expect 10-11 tricks. Regards, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
