dake50 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 5xS +CA +2xC-ruffs +HAK +DJA =12 and need squeeze (H-C or H-D) vs.LHO or DK drop. Play as if it could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play as if it could happen. you don't have the entries for the squeeze I'm afraid, you kill dummy's hearts to get to hand and ruff clubs and pull trumps.

wclass___ Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 If we assume that LHO has lead singleton ♠, then diamond finesse in trick 3 stands out. (We win if LHO has K(xx) in ♦) But the lead doesn't have to be singleton, we are in grand and opponent might as well lead small from doubleton to mislead declarer. Alternative line is 1. ----2. ♣ to Ace3. ♣ ruff4. ♦ Ace5. ♦ ruff6. ♣ ruff7. ♦ ruff (Winning if LHO has 2♠ and ♦ Kx or ♦ xxxx ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 i've never heard of opps giving any kind of count in trumps on the lead. most people just lead the lowest whatever they hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 thx for the takers west had ♠x♥Q10xxx♦Kxx♣Qxxx My father found the winning line at the table (diamond finese diamond ruff and score ♦J without pulling trumps, then cross ruff) for +1510. It is quite surprising that so far we have played 4 grands making, neither of them cold, but only 3 slams, neither of them making :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I can't find that thread now but I think your dad overbid here, on discovering you had no kings 6S is enough innit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 His father is a known overbidder lol. He once opened 4♠ against me on some rubbish like KxxxxxxxJTxxx ahahah. All white, mind you :blink: Anyway, good play by your father, Gonzalo. The diamond finesse is more or less mandatory due to lack of entries.

hanp Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 The diamond finesse is more or less mandatory due to lack of entries. I don't understand this comment. Why is this mandatory and not wclass_'s line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I said "more or less mandatory". I say more, you say less :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
