Fluffy Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 only 3 players in the bidding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 looks to me like unless you bid 7S or 7NT, LHO will bid 7S :) so yes, just 3 people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poky Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 only 3 players in the bidding? No. 4 players. "Any" was a bid (Double, 5♥, 6♦, whatever...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 RHO has enough with 1 keycard to bid 7♠. You'd expect opener to have at least 1 keycard, so why voidwood? Yes, to avoid that lead. Try ♦A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Agree with Free - RHO is trying to avoid a diamond lead. Mind you, this is a whole game of bluff and double-bluff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtK78 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I am leading a spade. I don't believe that there is any reason to believe that any red trick is going away if it is not cashed at trick one. Yes, they have a massive club fit and a massive spade fit. But that does not add up to 13 tricks. Leading the wrong red ace, however, is likely to give up the 13th trick (possibly the 12th and 13th tricks). Many years ago in the LM pairs the opponents bid up to 7♠ in an uncontested auction, and I held the Qx of spades. My partner led one from 3 small. I gave my partner's hand to a friend who was not playing in the LMs and asked him for a lead on the opponents' auction. He led a spade. On this hand the issue is not pickling partner's possible trump trick. It is whether you try to guess which red ace to cash at trick one or go passive and assume that whichever one is cashing is not going away. I choose to go passive.

gwnn Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I have no idea what I'd lead but I would like to know the answer now.. <_< ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I lead a diamond. RHO probably isn't void in two suits, so if the diamond void is real he wouldn't bid the grand. The fact that he did anyway means he has a heart void and not a diamond void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
