Until... Not so spoiler to leave until after you've made your first club play: Clubs were 4-0. At least they were onside.

Until...Not so spoiler to leave until after you've made your first club play: My (third) guess....♦A, ruff a ♦ with ♣7, finesse ♣Q ducked (discovering the bad break), ♥AK, finessse ♣J (RHO does best to duck), finesse ♣T, discard a ♥ on ♦Q, finesse ♠Q. Now...- If ♠Q wins then ruff a ♥, ♠A claim- if ♠Q is covered then win ♠AJ, ruff a ♥ claim You need RHO to hold at least three ♥ and three ♦ and two ♠ - If ♠Q loses to ♠K and RHO returns a trump then cash your winners hoping for a major-suit squeeze or ♠ 3-3. Edit: Oh dear :( Forgot about 3♦ overcall :(.[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'd like to know which diamond was led and how they lead. Seems relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayin801 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'd like to know which diamond was led and how they lead. Seems relevant. Pretty sure they led the ♦6, 2/4 leads. If you play a 2nd round of diamonds, RHO drops the 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceeb Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 After ♦A, ♥A, ♣Q reveals that the minor suit differential and therefore also the major suit differential is only one card, a major suit squeeze is unlikely. On the plus side, LHO is probably 3370 i.e. ♠ may break. Continue ♣J (and a 3rd ♣ if not covered), try ♠Q winning if covered. Finish pulling trump, cash ♦Q, play ♠s and hope the 10 or 8 comes down within 3 rounds. If the ♠Q lost there is the slight extra chance of a ♦-♠ squeeze if LHO had 108xx,xx,J98xxxx,--. If the ♠Q wins I see nothing better than ♥K, ♣8, ♣, ♦Q, and then ♠J catering for ♠3-3 or K10xx or K8xx on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike gill Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Semi-maniac was an underbid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
