geofspa Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 We have bid competitively to 4♠x (by RHO) and dummy comes down I think we could be in 5♦ but that is not possible now. I see ♠10 5 4 I hold ♠Q 9 7 6 3 2 Looking at both hands I can see I can make the contract if I can hold spades to 2 losers only. Is there a percentage play to achieve this? (entries to both hands outside are not a problem) Geof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 This isn't really an advanced combination is it? You just play low to the 9 which will pick up: any 2-2 (as will all other plays)KJ8/AJ8 onsideAKJ8 onsidestiff J onside You can't do anything legitimate if you have AJ8 or KJ8 offside.

jdonn Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I can't say what inference I take from the double without an entire auction. But if you lead toward the 9 you lose to stiff J with LHO, if you lead toward the Q you lose to LHO with stiff K, stiff A, or void. So lead toward the 9.
