jdonn Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 The bidding is weird. East usually has a slam try to bid this way but he can't have enough unless he is 6-5, in which case partner would play the 2 of hearts when we try to cash the ace. So I'll assume he is being random and decided to take a shot at game. I think it's a guess whether declarer has AKJx of diamonds or like AJx with QJx of hearts, the spots leave both as possibilities but maybe partner would play a higher diamond with xxx so I'll go for a diamond.

ceeb Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I would impatiently play ♦Q a trick ago. Even KQJ10xx, x, AKJxx, x isn't a legitimate slam try -- needs 2 aces, diamond shortness, and trump length for a slam. Therefore RHO is having fun in the bidding. Partner however, if holding ♦32, wouldn't know that the 3♦ bid was a joke and wouldn't know continuing clubs is bad. Partner would only play diamonds with an honor or a singleton.

Fluffy Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 it ws daddy, not me :lol:. your intuiton tells you that declarer probably doesn't have a slam try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 If we can assume that partner would normally trust our leads, then we should have a second club trick cashing. Else partner would have continued clubs at trick 2, since from his perspective with ♣AKxxx he "knows" from the spots that the lead is a doubleton or singleton. But I assume that we can't assume that?! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 That's a good point michael Partner was afraid declarer had ♠KQJ10x ♥Qx ♦AKJxx ♣x where after cashing ♥A declarer now might have 2 pitches in hearts since ♥J falls, and 1 more from clubs if we play the suit, so played ♥A then another heart to assure 1 down, but declarer held instead ♠KQJ106♥5♦AKJ87♣96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
