rogerclee Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 KTxx Jx A9xx K9x Ax xx KJT JT8xxx You deal all red at matchpoints P 1H X 2D*4C AP 2D = 4 card raise, about 7-9 points Feel free to comment on your decision to bid 4C. Your LHO is a competent but not great player, he leads a lowish diamond spot and RHO puts in the 8. You win in hand with the K and advance the CJ, your LHO playing low smoothly. How do you play?

Trumpace Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Did you really win the D lead with the K? I guess to play low, mainly based on absence of heart or club lead. I am guessing LHO probably holds something like Qxx, AQxxx, Qxx, Qx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your LHO is a competent but not great player, he leads a lowish diamond spot and RHO puts in the 8. You win in hand with the K and advance the CJ, your LHO playing low smoothly. How do you play? I think I'd play A spades K spade ruff to get a more accurate view of the point layout first. LHO probably has AQ hearts and Qxx(x) of diamonds, so it'd help to know if he has QJx of spades to start with, or if he's got Jxxx. If RHO's spades turn out to be Qxx, I'll play LHO for the A and RHO for the Q. if I don't get any info by doing this I'll toss a coin and fly A anyhow. Seems like a complete guess, even though uve got 2 of LHO's suit holdings fairly nailed down. EDIT: this runs the risk of a ruff regardless if the clubs are 2-2. However, if I think the field is in 3c or defending 3h, i may need to make 4c or im in trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Sorry if I'm stupid but I'm confused. I would have assumed that the lead was a singleton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpace Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Sorry if I'm stupid but I'm confused. I would have assumed that the lead was a singleton. 2D was alerted as a 4 card raise (nothing about diamonds). On a low(ish) spot lead, RHO putting in the 8 from Q8x(xx) might be possible, but I discounted that possibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing LHO probably holds something like Qxx, AQxxx, Qxx, Qx Agree with this, plus with the ♣A replacing the Q and the possibility of a little more shape (2542 maybe), even at MP LHO may have stretched to 4♥ to give us the last guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpace Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 I am curious. What was the full hand? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 LHO had Qxx AQxxx Qxx Qx. I held RHO's hand at another table (J9xx Kxxx xxx Ax). We also defended 4♣, and declarer misguessed trump. Note my side makes -1 ♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
