Best line for 3H?


Recommended Posts

First of all, what's missing?

 

Opponents hold AQ K QJ AK

 

Your LHO has already been placed with the K.

 

If you can prevent a ruff, you can do no worse than go down 1.

 

They probably can make 8 or 9 tricks at a contract.

 

Win the A , then proceed with A and continuation as previously outlined.

I would lead a spade to the J and finesse in hearts if I can make an entry to dummy. E couldn't compete despite likely holding 4 diamonds to the KQ (I suppose W could have 7) but has just enough room for the spade Q and no call, and W couldn't make a reopening X, which smells like heart length to me.

 

I suppose alternatively E could have the heart Kx to go with the diamond KQ and opener could just have inappropriate shape to make a reopening X (3262 or something) but give E much more and they have a call.
