Well you don't have to do that. Anyway what sort of line do you think is right? (If you play ace and ruff a ♣ RHO plays the Q on the 2nd round.

T1: ♥AT2: ♣AT3: low ♣ ruffT4: ♦ ruffT5: ♣ ruff If clubs are established draw trumps crashing the queen. If trumps are 3-2 or the ♠T drops there are enough tricks. Otherwise you need hearts to break for two entries to dummy. If clubs are not established T6: ♦ ruffT7: ♣ ruff Draw trumps. If trumps do not break you are down.

Fluffy Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I prefer to play a heart from hand without drawing trumps, that would be trick 3 after a club ruff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I prefer to play a heart from hand without drawing trumps, that would be trick 3 after a club ruff. No matter what I need some luck but this requires less than any other line. I intend to finessethe heart if LHO follows --if they sluff rise with A and clear the suit. This leaves all options openand only requires 1 dia ruff to make (plus some luck in opps club length ie rho being short). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewj Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I prefer to play a heart from hand without drawing trumps, that would be trick 3 after a club ruff. LHO follows to the heart. I suppose you put in the jack? That would be ruffed on this layout but you would be in pretty good shape on the layout. LHO has xQT9AxxxxKxxx The first line mentioned what what our declarer did but he had to go down when trumps were 4-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gunnar might have adopted Fluffy's line when the ♣Q pops on the right at trick three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
