BunnyGo Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I'm still pissed that I got this wrong....I'm pleased that I was able to forget it until the end of the night. [hv=pc=n&s=sak42haj4dqj84ca5&w=s6h87dkt62cjt7642&n=sj95h93da973ckq93&e=sqt873hkqt652d5c8&d=n&v=e&b=9&a=p2s(5+5+%20S%20and%20other)3nppp&p=d2d3d5d8dqdkdah2s5s8sks6djd6d7c8d4dtd9h5c4c3h6cac5ctcks3]399|300[/hv] The hand was now completely counted out. All I had to do was double hook the heart, leave the clubs alone and if E splits his honors take my ace and endplay him (If West wins a heart he has to exit a heart to avoid a club finesse). Either way, East gets endplayed into giving me an entry to dummy for the club later and a second spade trick. WHY DID I CASH THE QUEEN!! I then didn't even recover and play east for both heart honors, I meekly cashed out....sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Cashing the queen is fine, just discard the suit E doesn't and play 3 rounds of the one he discarded. You're playing him for ♥K, you'll duck if he plays this, but he doesn't need the Q too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I didn't was because LHO just might have the heart Queen and I'd go down when I should have made an overtrick. Not cashing the queen protects against all that. But you're correct, I should have made the overtrick anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
