I hope this is an instructive hand for int players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el mister Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'll take a stab - we need to win all of the remaining tricks, so our options seem restricted to finessing East for the K♥. We have limited entries in dummy, though, so if ♥s break 3-2 or worse it may be difficult to cross to dummy for the second (and third) finesse. For this reason, should we play East for Q♣, play low and win the J♣ in dummy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flameous Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I don't think letting the club run is that good. Better to win club, cash ♠K and ruff spade to dummy and let the ♥Q run. You need spades 5-3 (compared to diamonds 4-3) and hearts 3-2 compared to club finesse winning. If you have (get) some strong reason to think ♥s are 4-1, you can still survive when diamonds are 4-3 and you finesse the ♥9 on second round.

vuroth Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Use the spade to cross to dummy for the trump finesse. Q♥. If west is void and east covers with the king, I hope the K♣ drops the queen to give me another entry to finesse the 9♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flameous Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 You don't have another trump to finesse after ruff if they are 5-0. But then there is a chance of trump coup so the club needs to be cashed indeed. (Need east to be 3532 exactly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
