phil_20686 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I went off in this one, how will you play? [hv=pc=n&s=sat542hkj84dk932c&n=sj9h9753daqcqjt65&d=s&v=0&b=11&a=1sp1np2hp4hppp]266|200[/hv], and the 8 of diamonds was led. Opps lead MUD from 3 and 2nd from four small.

Fluffy Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 contract doesn´t look very promising, I would go for spade fineses. Run ♠J, win continuation probably with ♦A and overtake ♠9 with the 10, I don´t care much of spades beeing 2-4 since LHO will ruff with a heart honnor that is behind KJ, once in dummy after ruffing the spade play a heart, will regain entry later ruffing the diamond.

SteveMoe Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 How about combining chances along these lines:Win ♦AQ♠J to A (they could cover)♦K dropping ♠9♠ ruff♣Q ruff if covered, pitch 4th ♦ if not...win/trump in Dummy if possible, trump to J if necessary Leaving the many variations to what we learn along the way.

phil_20686 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 So the actual layout is [hv=pc=n&s=sat543hkj84dk932c&w=skq6haqdt854ck873&n=sj9h9753daqcqjt65&e=s872ht62dj76ca942]399|300[/hv] and to make you need to ruff a club at trick two. Its actually very hard to envisage making layouts if the spades are not 3-3. And if you play on spades you typically need to pick up the hearts somehow, so its all very tricky. Maybe you should just play for east to be 3334, in which case you can make on the completel cross ruff: ruff club, diamond, ruff club, diamond pitch spade, As spade ruff club ruff spade ruff club ruff = ten tricks. I have no idea if this is better. But I am coming to be of the opinion that it is probably is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also believe a club ruff at trick 2 is your best chance though it looses against some favorable trump layouts. It is not so hard to envisage some layouts where your line wins even against spade not breaking e.g. [hv=pc=n&s=sat543hkj84dk932c&w=sq6ha2dt854ck8732&n=sj9h9753daqcqjt65&e=sk872hqt6dj76ca94]399|300[/hv] Rainer Herrmann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
