bluecalm Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Strange.The lead really looks like singleton but on the other hand would E overcall with only vulnerable:KxQJ9xxxKJxxx Probably yes but he hold this exact hand (or 3-6-3-1 or 2-7-3-1 etc with exact honor cards).I doubt he would lead from Qxx/Kxx or even xxx holding either diamond shortness or QJ of hearts so I base my play on the assumption his hand looks like the one I pictured.So.. I play A♣ then K♥, then small spade to the ace. Then ♦ finesse and A♦ to discard a club. Then ♦ ruff, heart ruff (praying W don't overruff), ♦ruff back, ♥ruff with T♠, last ♦ ruff and Q♠. I lose if hearts are 7-1 and spades 2-2 but I win on many probably layouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Why should the lead be a singleton? The lead might be from x QJ9xxx Kx KJxx or K QJ9xxx xxx Kxx, or any other hand where clubs looked a more attractive lead than diamonds. LHO is likely to have at least one of the pointed-suit kings, so Bluecalm's approach seems reasonable, except that if LHO plays ♦K early I think you should ruff clubs back to hand.
