flytoox Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Playing 2/1, sitting south I am declaring this 4H. 2H promises 4 cards support, so I bid 4H directly. (Should we bid 3N along the way to let pd decides what to play? IN this case I guess pd will correct to 4H anyway) Opening lead is C4, East took club ace and returned a small club, all follows. Opponents lead small from three small cards. What is the best line?

Fluffy Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 If diamond ace is offside I think we are down unless they are 3-3. If confident enough that clubs are 3-4 best line is ♠A, ♣K pitching spade and a diamond up, however if RHO ruffs ♣K we are in heavy trouble. getting in with ♥K gives up ♥Jxxx onside, but that is rare because then LHO with 3 clubs and 1 heart didn't bid at the 1 level, if that's because he has only 4 spades and 5 diamonds everything is breaking very badly and we won't likelly make it. So start with ♥K and a diamond up is my line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschafer Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I don't have anything to add to the play but generally I would only suggest 3NT with a known 8-card major fit on a 4333 shape. Maybe also 4432 but only when I have mostly quacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhm Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 At trick 3 I would play a low ♦ from the table. This might not be the best way to play the hand double dummy. But Bridge is not played double dummy. Rainer Herrmann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
