gnasher Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I try to give partner a heart ruff, because: - Of the two red suit, it's more likely that he has a heart void, because that gives them more honours in their long suits, so more reason to bid to the sice level. - With a marginal hand, he'll be more inclined to open 4♠ with a heart void than with a diamond a void. - If he has a diamond void, I may still make two diamond tricks.

Codo Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I would lead my longest major for the same reasons... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gszeszycki Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 excellent analysis heart it is and I would try my smallest heart mainly to try and get a dia return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 excellent analysis heart it is and I would try my smallest heart mainly to try and get a dia return. I don't see the rush for a diamond return. Will play a high heart for a possible underlead of the spade honors and a second heart ruff.

aguahombre Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Hey, Fluffy: We are given that N/S are vul. But are we N/S or E/W? I can picture that if a Heart lead for Partner's void is a winning play, we had better beat this thing as much as possible. We were making 5 or six :( Too late to back up that visualization by pulling the Lightner double. (If it was one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 to be honest I don't remember the vulnerability, I think it was all vul now. [hv=n=sajxxxxxhqxxxdcxx&w=s10xhaj8xdaq98cxxx&e=skhdxxxxcakqj10xxx&s=sqxxhk109xxdkj10xxc]399|300|[/hv] team mate tried ♠Q wich if holds partner will give preference and we can give him the setting ruf. The technical play didn't work as expected, but as the cards lied it was good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Was picturing a 4S opening bid by partner. Still down one. Diamond sets it more, but that wasn't happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I don't see the rush for a diamond return. Will play a high heart for a possible underlead of the spade honors and a second heart ruff.Obviously if partner does ruff trick 1 he is never underleading his ♠A, let alone his ♠AK at trick 2.

bonxie Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Still down one. Why? pitch the spade King on the Heart Ace , draw trumps and hook diamonds three times, whats the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
