Chamaco Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 [hv=d=s&v=n&n=sakq32hk95da742c2&s=stxhj743dk863caq9]133|200|Scoring: IMPSouth deal and opens 10-12 NT. Bidding uncontested reaches 3NT.West leads a low club: attitude lead from unknown length.East plays the club K.[/hv] Easy if spades break 3-3.But how should I handle the case where spades do not break ? 1) Play spades immediately to check the break, and lan the play on other suits accordingly ? 2) Play on diamonds ? (Duck 1 round) 3) Try stealing a trick in hearts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 ♥ to the K, if it loses to the A you will need ♠3-3, but when west hops with the Ace to play ♣J you can still succed with a suicide squeeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 why not duck the ♣K to start with? win the next, heart to the king... if it wins, diamond to the K and duck a spade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Ducking or not duncking won´t matter, sincec ♣ won´t be 7-2. If you win ♥K the best play is small ♠ from dummy to catter to ♠Jxxxx at your right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 you're right on the spade play... i wasn't thinking 7/2 on clubs, but i was thinking 6/3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
