gnasher Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 A top diamond. I don't think any lead would be insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 If the question is whether it is insane to act over 7♣, the answer is yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 If you trust your opponents and trust your team mates, 7C was making. Then it just becomes a math problem, how many down will 7D be. If this 7 card suit can manage 6 tricks, then it is a win. If it can manage 7 tricks, then it is a bigger gain. I must say that I would probably not have the presence of mind to figure this out at a table, red v red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 The guy who bid keycard with a diamond void is also insane. Unless he bid grand off the ♦A... also insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Lead C2. Maybe 1 less D-ruff kills this grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I have a rule to always lead my ace versus grands. I'd rather not be the guy that let a grand make because he didn't. Besides how many stories have we all heard of exclusion being psyched and things like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Lastime I saw a splinter followed by 4NT when partner cued it was in the NEC, my teammate assumed that cue after splinter denied any honnor in the suit splintered and played slam with ♣Ax opposite void, and 2 prime aces missing for -13 IMPs. I haven't watched the JEC matches more than twice in my life, but I have heard many histories about cheating there, I dunno if they are true but this hand wouldn't smell very well to me (depends on who the opponets are).

FWIW if you even hesitate about saving you will be marked with no defense and any finesse they have to take will go through partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
