cherdano Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 cash ♣AK, ir RHO has ♣Q or ♣J stiff you have 9 sure tricks playing a club now. If nothing happens you have to guess wich entry minor entry LHO has.In fact, assuming both follow, you will have a pretty good guess about who has the remaining club. Whoever didn't play an honor is a 2:1-favorite to have the remaining club. (And, of course, if you guess right, you make; if you guess wrong in clubs you still have the 50-50 chance of the ♦A being in the correct hand.)

ARTjoMS Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Whoever didn't play an honor is a 2:1-favorite to have the remaining club. This. But i will add that exactly ♠5-2 is the problematic layout, and taking into account vacant spaces odds changes to something like 4:3.

Get life. This hand was posted as a play problem in other forum without mentioning bidding. I'm not even sure if this hand was ever really played in real life. And cherdano already gave the right answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
