kfay Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Here was an interesting hand I played the other day: [hv=pc=n&s=sa432hkq9852d9c84&n=sk8hat43dkt75cj97&d=n&b=9&a=1dp1h1s2hd4hppp]266|200[/hv] LHO led the ♠Q, which you win in dummy. When you lead a small heart off dummy RHO discards an encouraging diamond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alik1974 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Frustrating http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif Opponents (East in particular) should know the closed hand's distribution and after cashing their minor suit tricks, a trump promotion should be on, provided East is on lead.

Fluffy Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I would try for west to have ♦H8 or ♦H8x by playing the 9 at trick 3 covering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhm Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 From the bidding and play the most likely distribution is that East has 2=0=6=5 and West 5=3=2=3Anyway if West has only 2 clubs you are not going to make this contract. Play ♠A, spade ruff with the ♥T (key play) and play a club from the table. Assume West wins, what can he do? If West returns a trump you can win in hand and ruff your last spade, thanks to your careful spade ruff with the heart ten.Otherwise the defense comes out on top by returning a low heart for lack of quick entries to hand. If the defense continues with clubs discard your diamond on the third club to avoid a promotion in clubs. If West switches to diamond cover as cheaply as possible. Assuming East has the ♦A and at least one of the lower honors, I see no successful counter for the defense. Rainer Herrmann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
