kayin801 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 [hv=d=s&v=e&n=s10xhqdakj10xxxc9xx&s=sahak8xxxxdxcaq7x]133|200|Scoring: IMP1♣-(2♠)-3♦-(3♠)P-(P)-5♦-(P)?[/hv] 1♣ was big, 3♦ was nat and GF, and my pass as opener was forcing (I had planned to come in with 4♥ over any "normal" action by partner, as I thought I was too good for 4♥ right away) a ) What's your bid? (try not to result :P)b ) how are you playing 6♥ in the south or 6♦ in the north on the presumed spade lead, ♠Q in hearts, low ♠ in diamonds? Hidden: RHO has 4 hearts, if you ever try to cash two top ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlson Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I would bid 4♥ over 3♠, don't really think this is an underbid. Now pass 5♦. Don't see anything better than the straightforward lines. In 6♦, win the ♠A,♥Q,♠ruff,♥ruff with the T and try to draw trumps. In 6♥, win the ♠A,♥Q,♠ruff, try to draw trumps. If there's no heart loser, ♦AK and a club finesse. If there is a trump loser, and they return a club, hop ace and run all your trumps before hooking the diamond just in case lefty started with QJxxxx x Qxxx Kx.

Fluffy Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 the play in 6♦ seems pretty easy. In 6♥ it depends on who wins the 4th heart and what does he return, but I think karlson nailed it too, club finese doesn't look right. About the biddind, I would pass 5♦ my hand is just slightly above average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pict Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Looks like slam to me. We play in diamonds and not hearts, I reckon on principle. Win the spade lead, heart queen, ruff a spade, Ace of hearts etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 In 6♦, win the ♠A,♥Q,♠ruff,♥ruff with the T and try to draw trumps. I don't think ruffing with the 10 is a good idea. It loses when either opponent has ♦Qxxx and hearts were 3-2. It gains only if hearts are 4=1, diamonds are 3-2 (or stiff queen), and either East doesn't have ♦Q, or he does but he also has ♣K (because he'll return a club after overruffing).

karlson Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I think if east has Qxxx, I need him to have exactly 3 hearts to succeed anyway (he wins the third diamond, returns a club). But even throwing that case out, I agree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
