Fluffy Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 4♠ was made with lead directing purposes mainly :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 It is tough to see how we could have 12 tricks in 6N and not 13 in 7♣. The diamond suit has to come home to make 12 tricks in notrump, and if we have to concede a diamond trick, we need to be able to stop whichever major they lead twice. If we don't have to concede a diamond trick, then surely he has 2 hearts to ruff in my hand and now we have 13 tops. The alternative is to assume both the spade K and at least AQ in hearts and either the diamond A (not Ax) or the QJ (not QJ tight) as well as good clubs. Plus in clubs we may be able to avoid a diamond loser on a 4-1 break if he holds AQx or AJx 9the latter requires an unlikely finesse, given the fit 4♠) I bid 7♣ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 This one was the most interesting hand of the set, but with so many decisions I didn´t see how to post it as a problem I was a bit scared of biddign 4♠ and committing to the 5 level with: ♠KJ9x♥J109xx♦Q10x♣x Remember Wank is a passed hand, he might be stretching a bit just to ask for a heart lead. But I knew that a heart lead couldn´t be very productive so I wanted to switch his gears towards a spade one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
