Fluffy Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Nice point Tomi I play echo in trumps shows interest in ruffing so in theory I should be ok playing the 2, still I'd play the 8 lieing to partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serapuff Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 So, it turned out pd had: kxxAKxxxxxxkx After winning KH, pd figured that the only way to set the contract was if I had qC and he gets a ruff (it seemed improbable I have 2 diamond honors based on the HCP) - and I fully agree with his analysis. It turned out, a D switch when he got in with kS was necessary to set the contract, as declarer played qH discarding a diamond in dummy losing to partner's AH, and jH tossed the last D loser for just making.

jjbrr Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 why should this be a eng/disc situation, all honors in this suit are clear to every player at the table including the dummy. o rly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 What is not known by partner? Opening lead -> not top heart; CK to CA -> all club honors are seen; I raised ->D-stuff; Spades are as they are(SK on/off). What does attitude add?Count at least adds CQ cashes/not. Granted not many partnerships discuss 'what is not known?' for their signaling scheme exceptions. Just applying simple rules saves memory.

Tomi2 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 pd's defense looks strange, leading away from kx into a j9xx suit... this is not his work, its opps work. Would have expected him to switch to dia and wait for a club and a spade trick...anyway showing count and then suipt pref in trumps would have even worked with this partner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
