Phil Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 [hv=pc=n&s=sthaq932dk5cakj9&n=sk963h875da972ct8]133|200[/hv] IMPs. You play in 4♥. You dealt and the opponents were silent. Opening lead is the ♦4, 2 and a fast 6 from RHO which you win. Rightly or wrongly, you lead a spade up, LHO grabs the Ace and exits the 7. RHO plays the 4 and 2 (udca). (edit - not sure what happened but your spade holding is the 10-5.) Now what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'd play the HA, then club, club, club ruff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 If LHO had ♠AQ, ♥K and ♣Q he might have doubled 1♥. I play a heart to the queen. If that loses, I'll use ♦A to take a club finesse against East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my assumptions are correct, mtvesuvius's line also works, and he gains against several other layouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 LHO held Ax KJT QTx Qxxxx. If you are going to ruff clubs, make sure you use the middle trump. Cashing the ♥A is fine too. At the table, I ruffed a spade to hand and was overruffed. Diamond exit, heart to my Ace, and from there I crossruffed. I wasn't real confident about this line but it seemed reasonable at the time. Obviously lots of lines work, and some lines do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
