Phil Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 I'll go out on a limb and say its 3N. I'll go further out on my limb and win the ♥K to try a low diamond off of dummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming 3NT. Win hK.... lead s9:If it holds, then lead low Diam If East wins and shifts to the cQ, then cover. If East wins and shifts to a low Cl, then duck. In either case, opps can't run 4 Cl tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If East wins and shifts to a low Cl, then duck. In either case, opps can't run 4 Cl tricks. and if the queen of diamonds loses to the king you've got the ace of diamonds as an entry to take a first round spade finesse into the safe hand, preserving communication in spades to dummy's long winner. and if the queen holds you concede a spade out of your own hand instead of crossing to dummy, now opps can take max 3 clubs and 1 spades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 This hand is also a very interesting pairs play problem, and probably not B/I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
