Fluffy Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 [hv=n=sxxxhxxxxdjxckq93&w=sj10xhaq10xdaqxcj84&e=sxhkjxd9xxxca10752&s=sakqxxxhxxdk10xxc6]399|300|[/hv] I made 2 mistakes here and payed for it, south opened 1♠ (NS vul) and I decided to pass, double would had solved all my problems but I failed. North raised to 2♠ and south settled for 4♠. At this point I was very happy not to have doubled hidding my strong hand, little I knew. The next thing all happened at the speed of light, I discarded ♦-♥ leads then ♠ cos I hate leading trump from J10x wich loses a trick often, so I made my last mistake of leading a club (if I had though more about it I would had led a spade) Declarer said thank you upon seeing dummy, and quickly called low club from dummy. My partner flew with ♣A and gave me a not so succesful club ruff. Justin will say that playing low club from dummy is obvious ec, but it was the first time I saw such a play.

Codo Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I really wonder why you passed 1 ♠. You pass more often then me and about 50 times as often as a typical BBF poster. But with this hand even my late grandma had doubled... I had lead a low spade. This "cannot" blow a trick after this bidding- At first glance I thought that partner should pay the ten at trick one, but on second sight:How can he beat 4 Spade without a club ruff? He does not know that you have around 20 tricks in your own hand.... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Doubling the first time is 100% obvious. I would lead a low spade but I your lead isn't bad. The low club is really a great play and I wouldn't have thought of it. Hopefully I will next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I had lead a low spade. This "cannot" blow a trick after this bidding- Unless they have Q9x opposite A8xxx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomSac Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Justin will say that playing low club from dummy is obvious ec, but it was the first time I saw such a play. Last time I tried it RHO won their jack lol. It is a very good play and not one that I would expect many even great players to find every time, and definitely not obv.
