kayin801 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Suppose a hypothetical situation where you needed to earn the best score possible no matter what. The scoring is matchpoints (duh), you play 3/5 leads vs. suit with UDCA. Declarer is an average player.

twoshy Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I guess your system is a strong club with a strong NT? Partner must have ♦54, because he would play the 5 with 542. Looks like he is 3424. Given that he led from at most ♥KJxx, he must have the ♣A. I duck, win the second diamond and play a club. Partner wins and keeps plugging away at ♣, then declarer has to lead hearts for himself, just in case he has ♥AJxx. Declarer will probably advance the ♥9 when on table after the first diamond so I'll cover and partner can put me with the ♦A to play clubs. Declarer has misplayed so we should be in for a fine score anyway. By the way, I always try to get the best score possible ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Actually we learned at trick four that we weren't getting the best score possible. We learned that they didn't have a Michaels accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
