cherdanno Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I though it was ♠Q = 100, ♣ = 95, anything else -1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I though it was ♠Q = 100, ♣ = 95, anything else -1. this gets my vote but did you mean -100 for anything else? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rduran1216 Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 in this instance is there any rationale to the choice, or is it just a stab in the dark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

655321 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Club, prefer a club to a spade if only because we have long spades, opps have bid a slam (and LHO has a lot of red cards) so it seems unlikely that we can set up a second round spade to cash. Hope to set up a club instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 The reason for the obvious club: We may take two tricks before they discard all losers on hearts. As we have just a few clubs, it is much more likely to cash two club tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 eveything is said, if we just needed 2 fast tricks or nothing spades honnors versus the club "shortness" would make it close, however opps are lacking one ace, so a slow club trick is probably just as good as 2 fast ones.

Phil Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 A club needs KQ (or KJ over dummys Q) and a short enough suit to cash a trick. Or an unlikely K behind dummys Ace. A spade needs exactly Kx or Kxx (with 22). I'm leading a club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
