kfay Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Playing with a pickup partner you have a minorwood misunderstanding... partner understood that you played it and you had no idea. [hv=n=sxhakxxxxdj95caxx&s=sakq2hjdk10876cjxx]133|200|[/hv] The lead is the smallest ♣ spot, 3/5. You win the ace, cash 3 rounds of spades pitching clubs and....

pooltuna Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 well based on the first few tricks it looks like we are playing a suit contract presumably ♦ but probably ♥ based on the title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmilne Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I think starting with a club ruff is best. Does RHO drop an honour on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhm Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 You can play for a singleton ♦Q or, more likely, any doubleton ♦Q onside. Ruff a ♣ and depending on whether RHO drops the ♣Q or ♣K, in which case discard a ♣ on the second high ♥, but otherwise a ♠. Now ruff a ♥ and ruff your remaining black suit loser with the ♦J. Finally finesse against the ♦Q, unless RHO could have over-ruffed, but did not, in which case play the ♦K on the first round. If RHO is 3=4=2=4 and fools you by dropping the ♣ honor from ♣Hxxx on the first ♣ ruff and subsequently over-ruffs your ♠ with the ♦Q congratulate him for a brilliant defense.
