You get the 7 of spades lead (2nd/4th) Some info that may help you. If you cash the ace of diamonds, LHO plays the 9 and RHO the 2 (supposedly standard signals). If you lead the jack of clubs off the dummy, LHO plays low in an unconcerned fashion. If you cash four rounds of spades, RHO has 4 and LHO has 3.

tolvyrj Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 There r 2 major problems here, too many losers and not enough winners to quote Mollo.Lets play it simple, course finesses r so boring i take lead to my hand and play small ♥ from both hands. If opps return ♠, as they will, i take it into the dummy and return hand with A of ♣ and play K of ♣ as well. Back to dummy with Q of ♦ and then rest of the ♠ ditching a ♣ and a ♥ from my hand.Now someone shld be in trouble; lets hope its the defenders ;) .

tolvyrj Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Sry first posting was rubbish, it wont go like that at all. I cant think any other choice than ♣ finessse.Cause if take u 4 ♠ and 4 ♦ winners ( and u gotta have 4 ♦ winners)u will be in the hand with A and 10 of ♥ and AK and 10 of ♣. Now u cant throw RHO in to underlead Q of ♣, because if had started with KQJ of ♥ i dont think he would have lead small ♠. With just 2 ♥ honours he discards them away and let LHO to come in at trick 10.No squeeze will work course when u try to rectify the count by playing small ♥ from both hands defence cuts u communications by playing another ♠. And og f course u cant take AK of ♣ before rectifying the count.Assuming this is 6 NT ♣ hook is only thing i can imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win ♠K, ♦AQ hoping for four ♦ tricks. For example, if ♦J appears cash ♦T. If LHO plays ♦98 consider running ♦T. Then ♣J to ♣K, ♦K discarding a ♣, ♥A, ♠AQJ with squeeze strip chances but probably end up taking ♣ finesse :( [/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonottawa Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I didn't bid the slam either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
