CSGibson Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 [hv=d=s&v=e&n=sa94ha876d9862ct3&s=shq32dat543cakj75]133|200|Scoring: IMP1♦-(p)-1♥-(4♠),5♣-(p)-5♦ All Pass[/hv] Lead is the 7 of spades, ducked to the T and ruffed. On the ace of diamonds, LHO plays the 7 and RHO plays the K. This is the semi-final of a bracket 1 knockout, the opponents appear to be competent.

rhm Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Assuming 7-8 ♠ cards on my right, the ♦ to be 3-1, you have 2 inescapable trump loser. Accordingly you can not afford another ♥ loser and must try to strip LHO of his black cards before throwing him in with a trump. Play ♣AK and ruff a ♣. If RHO follows to three round of ♣s (unlikely) cash the ♠A before ruffing another ♠. If ♣s are not high, ruff another ♣ before end-playing LHO with the last trump from dummy. IF RHO shows out on the third ♣ ruff a ♠ and another ♣ before cashing the ♠A for a ♥ discard. If LHO refuses to ruff, throw him in with dummy's last trump.
