Deanrover Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 [hv=n=sa75hkqd863ct6532&w=st9642h2dkqt2caq4]266|200|Scoring: IMP[/hv] After a 1N-2C-2H-3N auction you lead a low club. Declarer plays the Queen from dummy and partner plays the club 9. Assume UDCA. Trick Two is spade 2, 8, King. Plan the defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 It doesnt look very promissing.Partner must have something in spade and therfore cant have AJ of heart. Partner can hold at max, the J spade and A of heart, but then declarer already has his game made.To have a chance to take it down, partner need the K of spade.my hopes are to find partner with J of heart and K of spade, i will play heart now.But this would actually not be enough with a good declarer holding up the suit twice, or take the first round. still it got some chances of a mistake by declarer, but the real chance is that partner has 3 spades to the K, in which case we will take 3 spades + 2 hearts. Im leading my heart K.This is what i hope partner has.KJxJxxxxxxxxx1 down no matter what declarer do with his A of hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Dean, your diagrams are worse than mine! :blink: Didn't think that was possible :blink: . Strange auction. I wonder why my LHO didn't look harder for a spade game, especially with a 5-4. I'm assuming that the 1N opening was 15-17, so that leaves partner with a random 3-5. Partner's ♣ 9 denies the King. The 8♠ is more of a problem. It could be from J8 or J83; certainly I'm hoping the latter. So, from the spots, partner has to have a spade honor; which rules out the pipe dream of him holding AJTxxx of hearts. Unfortunately, pard doesn't hold the J♦ either. Declarer's tricks are becoming easier to count; 3 diamonds (assuming pard has the A), 3 clubs, 1 spade and 1 heart. In time, declarer will make 2 more spades too. Continuing clubs can't be right. Neither can a diamond shift. What about the A♥? Hmmmm.... My prayer to Bridgidda is for pard to hold the A♥ and the J♠. That gives declarer 1 spade, 4 diamond, and 3 clubs. Lets play the K hoping for 3 hearts and 2 spades. Maybe our temamates will find the unbeatable 5♦ as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
