ahydra Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 CA CQ. What choice do we have? If East shows up with 5 clubs we can then start trying to be clever with things like ruffing two diamonds and trump-couping at the end. ahydra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Agree with ahydra. No losers in side suits, so nothing else to do but tackle trumps. If they break 5-1, perhaps the 9 will drop. If not, there may still be a line of play to score six trump tricks. I assume the given auction is not what actually occurred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 ♣A then ♣10 is slightly better imho. Just occasionally LHO will not cover the 10 from ♣Kxx and RHO will not get their ruff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_20686 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 the hand[hv=pc=n&s=sa7haq4d5caqjt864&w=sjt95hjt872d974c5&n=skq42hk653dak632c&e=s863h9dqjt8ck9732&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1dp3cp3sp4cp4hp4np5dp6cppp]399|300[/hv] So you need to ruff a diamond early or east can win and return a heart. This is a pretty unlikely layout though. Ruffing a diamond early loses to some nice trump breaks with 4-2 diamonds, which is more likely.

wank Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 i wouldn't say a 4-2 diamond break was more likely than a 5-2 club break on this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 i wouldn't say a 4-2 diamond break was more likely than a 5-2 club break on this hand. lol I though this hand was about cashing ♦AK early in an attemp to discard our spade to prevent a ruff.
