gnasher Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 What leads do they play? Also, I'm not necessarily agreeing to throw both spades from dummy. I might need one to endplay LHO for one off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmilne Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 and yeah, I would play LHO to have the A♠, K♥ and K♣. If they are really good they might pitch down to stiff king of clubs. But regardless I would have thrown one club from dummy and then counted the discards to either exit a spade from dummy at the end or play a club to the ace, with the default being exiting a spade. -100 should be ok on this board, tying those who go one off in 5 minor and beating those who go 2 or 3 off in 3NT. edit: and no, I'm not going to entertain the notion that West has overcalled vulnerable on a 7-count in a national event.

lmilne Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 It's a little more interesting given that LHO has to have a side 4-card spade or club suit. But I'm guessing most pairs playing this system would bid 2♦ with 6M 4m, whereas they would only bypass 2♣ with 6M4M with disparate suit quality. In other words, I will play LHO for 3604, and if he pitches 2 clubs and 2 spades (as most people would) followed by a heart, I would exit a spade, losing 4 hearts and a spade.
