dwar0123 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Shorten dummies trump by leading club ace. All the nightmare scenarios where partner has either 5 clubs and/or a void in spades, giving declarer 5 spades and thus 5 hearts as per his preference, involve hands I would expect partner to support clubs on. This assumes partner refused to lead a stiff spade, which makes sense if he has natural heart tricks and doesn't expect me to be able to get on lead enough times to ruff enough spades to make it worth while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gszes Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 too much risk of a ruff and sluff with a clubtoo much risk of giving away heart position with a hearttoo much risk of giving away dia position with a diano risk in giving up anything with a spade ok i talked myself into it a spade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 half the field returned a heart, partner had ♥K!0xx and blowed a trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 half the field returned a heart, partner had ♥K!0xx and blowed a trick. That was really wrong as pard owning a 4th trump is your only chance to give them a hard time. They can pick this off anyway but a 2nd big club makes it tougher to do so.
