MrAce Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 The ♣A was led and dummy was: [hv=pc=n&s=sq86hj96da75c9752&n=sak94hakqdjt842cq&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=p3cdp3hp4hppp]266|200[/hv] West continued with the K, and I ruffed in dummy. J♦ led to the Q, A and 9. Now a second diamond to East's K, West following. East thought for a moment, and she eventually returned a ♥. Trumps broke 4-3, so I drew trumps and played off the established ♦, East could ruff in anytime she wished, but her hand only had ♠s left so I made my contract losing a trick each in ♦ and ♣ and a ♦ ruffed by East's fourth trump. Whew! Can't be worse?How do you expect the trumps to break, if preemptor has a max. of 2 cards in that suit.How many rounds of ♣ do you intend to ruff with the north hand (because that the only suit short enough for a ruff) knowing that RHO is short in ♣ and has 4+ trumps too.Sine 3♣X= is 670, you should not go down 3 dbled, so you need to make 7 tricks.South gets the A♦ and maybe ♠Q and ♥J are useful, but since finesses are most likely off, north needs to have about 5 tricks in his hands. If north's semibalanced hand can produce 5 tricks although finesses won't work and although RHO can overruff or promote his trumps,than 3♣ won't make and going down is too expensive. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_20686 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 This is a bizarre hand, isnt 4S off if that is the layout. how fortunate that in the 3-3 fit you could take a ruff in the north hand without losing control. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
