If it matters you can assume opponents are unable to duck ♦K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valardent Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 ♠Q, ♦Q. 1) looses to ♦K, 47.5% finding ♥Q 2) it holds, 2 lines : a) finesse ♥Q through west(having played ♣+♠ if confident ♠ are 3-3 (additional chance of endplay with ♥Qx in East b ) AK♥ then all black cards 3) it is covered, similar as 2) So what is best, a) or b )? a) would win over b ) about 14% if ♥ are 4-1 while b ) would win over a) about 13.5% (Qx) Bcs b ) is safer for an endplay, I would choose b ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dake50 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Why didn't y'all get to 6NT? Just to avoid this brainbuster. There I can play some discovery that will tell me something. Agree Valardent line b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ♦Q loses to lHO's ♦K then you must guess which way to finesse hearts. If ♦Q is covered or wins, then the two main lines are Finesse hearts. If you lose a ♥ trick then you will have to play off winners to guess whether LHO is more likely to hold ♦Tx or RHO ♦Kx Cash ♥AK winning against a singleton or doubleton ♥Q. Assume ♥Q doesn't drop but ♥ are 3-2. Cash plain suit winners and lead a ♥. If RHO has ♥Q and ♦K, you are home. If LHO has ♥Q and ♦T, you succeed, too.IMO, both lines are about 65% but the second line is slightly better and more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
