dwar0123 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Imps - 2/1 regular partner udca. [hv=pc=n&n=dkh96&e=hk5d3&s=skj963haqt3dtct95&w=sqt72h2da76cakj87&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=pp1c2d2np3nppp|pc|dt|pc|d6|pc|dk|pc|d3|pc|h9|pc|h5|pc|h3|pc|h2|pc|h6|pc|hk|pc|ha|pc|s2|]400|300[/hv] You lead the T♦ which partner wins with the king. Partner leads the 9♥ which holds(you encourage with the 3), she continues with the 6 which you win after covering declarers king. Low spade pitched in dummy. Whats the plan?

bluecalm Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I don't see anything besides playing T of clubs and hoping he misguesses it.We already have 3 tricks with A♥ coming so there is not much reason for him to play clubs on top I think.

wyman Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 ♣. I dont really think it matters which one you lead. I'd probably lead the 5 against an average or worse player and the 9 against a good player that I thought respected me. If declarer has 5 club tricks, he's getting 5♣, 2♦, and the ♠A, so a spade or a heart gives up the 9th trick (we dont really think partner has 5 hearts, right?). Even if partner overcalled on 5 diamonds, and declarer holds ♦Q9x, which is certainly possible, declarer will need the clubs to come in to come to 9 tricks. So what am I assuming? * Partner didn't overcall 2D with ♦Kxxxx(x) and the ♠A* Partner didn't return the ♥9, then 6 from J96(x). But even if partner has the spade ace and started with only 5 diamonds, declarer can only come to 5 clubs and 3 diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 we dont really think partner has 5 hearts, right?We know he didn't, because declarer would have covered the first heart holding KJx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
