dave_w Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Duck the opening lead, (they continue), so I win. Maybe I know if Clubs are 4-4 or not by now? There looks to be two lines:knock out the ♠A and then take the Diamond hook and make 11 tricks 18% of the time, 10 tricks some of the time (if, for example the opponents win the first Spade and Diamonds are 3-3 with the Queen offside), and I don't think I'll make 9 tricks very often at all - I'll probably go down if it doesn't work. Alternatively, one can play on Hearts rather than Diamonds.cross to dummy with the ♦A and run the ♥9, then cross in Spades to run the ♥J. For 9 it needs either clubs 4-4 with at least one Heart honour onside or clubs 5-3 with at least one Heart honour onside and the ♠A with East (or possibly both Heart honours with East and the ♠A with West if you pick it) Since no-one will cover the 9 without both Honours I think if an honour appears then I'd knock out the Spade Ace next. I like the second line better. Less overtricks - but it's such a small percentage of the time that I'll live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karaprens Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Win the second club. Play 2 rounds of spade a-) they don`t win spade ace(play jack of spades first and overtake ten with q ). Hook hearts b -) they win spade ace and return club. Cash diamond k and finesse diamond queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
