cloa513 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 See Step 1 for the handAfter bid 1S,-,-,X,2C,2H,2S,3H,3S,4H,X ♠AKJ♥AQxx♦Qxxxx♣x Now do you run to 5D or stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) Run to 5♦? The alternatives seem to be to sit back and expect 590 or more, or to try for 880 which has the risk that somebody might run and we collect only 300 or so against 4♠X. Really, introducing a ratty 5 card suit at the 5 level is not an option. BTW, it wouldn't hurt to spend 10 seconds in each new thread to reproduce the hand.(Edit, I see OP has the hand now, thanks) Edited August 17, 2010 by 655321 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloa513 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 But you've ignore opponents bidding of clubs what does that say about partner's hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloa513 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Full Hand, [hv=d=s&n=s987hk9654dxxc987&w=s102hj1032dkjxxca104&e=sakjhaq87dqxxxxc2&s=sq6543hda10ckqj653]399|300|[/hv] As you 5D is solid, Easier from West but solid none the less. 4H has no chance as far as I can see.

Codo Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 So the split was 5-0. Declarer could still have make it, can't he? So, why should you run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Declarer could still have make it, can't he? How does he avoid losing a diamond and three hearts, if the defence plays clubs at every opportunity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloa513 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Even with the favourable spade lead, I still couldn't see how you do 4H, remember the long hand includes K♥ and 9♥. Obviously don't cash the K of spades like my partner did and seek to set up the diamonds but opponent will surely force the clubs next.

dake50 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Don't I see CA + C-ruff +SAK +SJ-ruff +C-ruff. Out to DA, DK(or C-ruff with HJ). Now D-ruff per force and trump endplays by D-ruff gets H10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Don't I see CA + C-ruff +SAK +SJ-ruff +C-ruff. Out to DA, DK(or C-ruff with HJ). Now D-ruff per force and trump endplays by D-ruff gets H10? you only ruff twice on AQxx hand, so you end up with bare ♥Q no endplay possible.
