lmilne Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 [hv=d=n&v=e&n=skt74hkt973d972c3&s=sj8652hq2d4cak762]133|200|Scoring: MP[/hv] Bidding (uncontested): Pass-1♠-3♠ (limit) -4♠ (normal accept right, even opposite passed hand?) Lead is the Q♦ (standard, always from QJ or Qx), RHO plays 3♦. LHO continues with the J♦ to the 5♦ and you ruff. I know partner might not have had a limit raise. How to best play from here?

pooltuna Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Dealer: North Vul: E/W Scoring: MP ♠ KT74 ♥ KT973 ♦ 972 ♣ 3 ♠ J8652 ♥ Q2 ♦ 4 ♣ AK762 Bidding (uncontested): Pass-1♠-3♠ (limit) -4♠ (normal accept right, even opposite passed hand?) Lead is the Q♦ (standard, always from QJ or Qx), RHO plays 3♦. LHO continues with the J♦ to the 5♦ and you ruff. I know partner might not have had a limit raise. How to best play from here? With east having showed up with the AK♦ I would not play him to have either the ♠A or the ♥A. Consequently it may be right to play the K♠ when I lead a small one towards dummy rather than plan for West to hold AQx. Presummably the auction actually started P (P) 1♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuroth Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Agree with pooltuna. (While RHO might have an outside A, that would leave everything else with LHO, and with QJ in both minors why not switch to clubs at trick 2 when partner discouraged?) So spades I'll go low to the king. Hearts I'll try low to the T, then the Q. Low to the K is probably only going to pick up Jx in hearts, while low to the ten picks up J(x)(x) on your left, which seems much more probable to me.

lmilne Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 So is everyone leading trumps at trick 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
