rduran1216 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Phil and I both played this hand today and disagreed on what the ideal contract is, spots are approxiamate, but all cards up to the 7's are accurate [hv=pc=n&w=sat873hk2dj852cj9&e=sk64hj863da96cak5]266|100[/hv] Matchpoints, club game.

dake50 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 2S.But I think few can stop even in 3S.Is that the jist of your question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Looks like 1S to me. Game looks awful, and NT looks worse thn spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yes I agree with you know. I was influenced by the opening lead at my table, which we played from the West side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 They led the queen of diamonds against 4S? You'd still need spades to split and the heart ace onside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 In other news, I'd likely be in game if I played 15-17 NT and 2S if I played 14-16 NT, thus proving that 14-16 is superior to 15-17 obv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 ♦K from KQx. I brilliantly held myself to 9 tricks in spite of spades splitting and the ♥A onside, but we lost the board in the bidding. I thought my ratty 9 count was only worth an invite. The field disagreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Everyone led from KQx into a 1N opener? I guess if he had the HA, Hx of trumps, and the CQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought my ratty 9 count was only worth an invite. The field disagreed.Do I understand this correctly? The diamonds are _____J852 KQx______10xx _____A96 The only way you can avoid losing two diamonds is if they lead it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 You could attempt to hook them for KQTx(x) and still lose 2 tricks since you have to pull some trumps first in that case. That's what I'm gonna guess clayton did, and it's not that unreasonable since KQx is such a weird lead into a 1N opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 No, the KQx is on my left. I had the 9 count with AT8xx of spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a low club lead and the J held! Now led the K of hearts off dummy, which held. Duck a spade into South and made 3NT for an ave- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
