mgoetze Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Here a rather unusual problem from today's christmas individual at my club. You hold ♠JTxxx ♥Axxx ♦x ♣xxx. LHO opens 1♣, partner bids 1♦, RHO passes. You decide to stick your neck out with 1♠. Fortunately, this is raised to 2♠ and everyone passes. RHO leads the ♣9. Your play?

mgoetze Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 glp Bonus question: your partner this round is a little old lady who doesn't play half as well as you. Same decision? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I forbid a club lead. I call the director first, and then I forbid a club lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I call the director, then probably forbid a club lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomi2 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 "I forbid a club lead." i dislike taking advantage of this random rule anyway but this is a christmas individual. calling to and force lho to make a foolish lead won't make this evening better... to decide what site will play this contract better is enough advantage for me, i dont see why it should be played from my side. beeing dummy i could get a beer and enjoy the evening, but the club is located in cologne so i wont get good beer too, damn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 in my local club they are very common, and from the 5 options I'd say I pick the best one roughly 20% of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 your partner this round is a little old lady who doesn't play half as well as you. Thanks for the compliment, you seem to have quite a high opinion of my play! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
