cherdano Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 This deal won't get you in the daily bulletin, but it's still worth 6 IMPs to get it right. You end up in the dream contract of 2NT. Dummy's auction showed four spades: [hv=pc=n&s=sq6hakj5dq943cqj4&n=skt42hq8d7652ckt6&d=e&v=n&b=2&a=p1np2cp2hp2nppp]266|200[/hv] You received the lead of a 4th-best ♠3. It goes 3-2-8-Q. Plan the play.

Lord Molyb Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 playing against my club I'd finesse the ♠10 but I'm guessing that's wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 I would have played ♠10 at trick one, to avoid having to guess how to make my second spade trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 You should assume strong opponents. I was kibbing on this hand and for trick one I decided to follow the read of the actual declarer. LHO lead through a known 4-card suit in dummy, I think he would do that with Axxx (and good spots), but he would be unlikely to do that with AJxx or Jxxx. Pretend LHO showed you his spade suit if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 ♣Q followed by four rounds of hearts? That may invisibly squeeze someone. For example, if LHO has Axxx xxx KJx Axx or RHO has Jxx xxx Axx Axxx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
