kayin801 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 [hv=pc=n&s=sa84hkt98dk62c987&w=sqt752h73d98cjt64&n=s93hq642dat54ckq3&e=skj6haj5dqj73ca52&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=1np2hp2sppp&p=c9ctcqcasksas2s3c8c4c3c2c7c6ckc5d4dqdkd8]399|300[/hv] N/S started the defense decently enough but couldn't unravel 6 tricks. UDCA agreements for defense. Where do you see chances for either N or S to do better? S doesn't need to play the 3rd club, it seems like, but it's not clear which red suit to switch to and on the actual lie it doesn't hurt. I was south, that's why I played the 3rd club, to let partner decide, though I know it sets up the 13th club. How clear should it be that we needed to attack both red suits, or hearts first? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Perhaps north could read south's ♣8 as suit preference? Not really sure if that applies in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel_k Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 When East plays the ♦Q it is very likely from either AQ or QJ. If it is from QJ then declarer has the ♥A and a diamond continuation is clearly fatal. If it is from AQ then North has the heart ace and an immediate heart lead will be necessary. So South should lead a heart after winning the ♦K. If declarer played ♦Q from KJx AQx Qxxx Axx then a heart lets it make, but that is unlikely and maybe partner would have switched to heart, not a diamond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dake50 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Under competed, now very to-the-point defense needed.I don't like defense when 3H makes. Cheap even 3H-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
