Little Kid Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I wonder if that is legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceeb Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 No one would believe the chances in diamonds are good enough to justify playing the ♠K at trick 1 so that's not the trap. Therefore I would do something like Hanoi5: assuming T1: ♠8,J,Afinesse spade at trick 2 & if it wins the best shot I see isT3: try a low club, succeeding if the hearts break or something good happens in clubs, or if LHO gets endplayed for another spade trick. Not so tempted to play diamonds at trick 3 because that might force you to cash ♦A when in with the ♥K, at a time when clubs are still to be developed. But I don't see that as qualifying as a trap.

Assuming RHO plays low, LHO will win and lead something back, if it is a spade, and the 10 does not get covered, you are still safe if spades are 4-3, as they appear to be from the OL. Continue with your diamonds by leading the A, and if they were 3-3, or there was honour ten doubleton on your right, you are at home.

Therefore I would [develop 8th trick in spades & hope for the 9th in ♥ or ♣].The trap to avoid on this hand is to not win the ♠A in your hand, but rather, win the K on the dummy and play a diamond to the 9 ... if they were 3-3, or there was honour ten doubleton on your right, you are at home.or dry ♦ honor(s) onside. Diamond 3-3 are equally likely as hearts 3-3. The extra chances in diamonds compare with the extra chances from clubs or endplaying LHO for a 4th ♠ trick. My feeling was that the club chances are better than the extra diamond chances, and the spade is a bonus. That's why I said the ♠K play seems improbable. I admit I did not calculate. Edit: We overlooked some additional winning cases for ♦ that may be important -- two honors dry with LHO. Depending on the bidding that could bring the ♦ chances up to 49%. However I still think the ♠8 play is clear. (1) it might win, (2) the extra club trick is around 20% (we'll have to start them with low from the dummy; RHO may not make the best play).

B) Incidentally, in the USA the usual spelling of the word 'honour' is 'honor', but perhaps your teacher is British. And are you sure you meant to say 'at home', I think if you go back and check you will find you meant to say just 'home'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdanno Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I don't get it. ♠K, diamond 8 to an honor on your left, club switch. What is your plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 The trap to avoid on this hand is to not win the ♠A in your hand, but rather, win the K on the dummy and play a diamond to the 9 Shouldn't you play a diamond to the jack? That gains against 10x offside, and, so far as I can see, never loses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
