winkle Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 ♠A83♥A7♦AK94♣AK94 ♠KJ94♥KQ983♦T87♣4 This hand was on vugraph in a Camrose Trophy match. I don't have any explanation for the auction, but it was (N): 2♦-2♠-2N-3♣-3♥-5N-6♣-6♥-6♠ West leads the ♣2 (not sure carding; assume 3rd/lo). What's the best line?

What's the best line?North showed 22-23 balanced and denied a major. They lead 4th but second highest from three or four small. So the lead is consistent with Hxx or Hxxx.

manudude03 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Win, AK of hearts, ruff a heart with the 8. If that get's overruffed, then I just hope I can play the trumps without loss. Probably playing for drop if Q was played, or finesse if 10 was played. If West shows out of hearts on the third round, I'll ruff low and play A of spades and finesse the jack (my initial thought was play AK, but it doesn't really pick up Tx in trumps, minor suit return when you lose the queen = trapped). If the 8 of spades wasn't overruffed (and East showed out), then I'll play AK of trumps hoping they break 3-3 or find Qx in either hand.

As soon as they spotted what Forrester was up to, 9 tricks in, the commentators described it as a "cool line" and a "very cool line".

Fluffy Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I would ruff a heart in dummy and finse spades to the Jack. For me the bididng is consistent if south is a passed hand and north opened a multi 2♦: 2♦-2♠ (heart preference)2NT-3♣ (muppet)3♥-5NT (3♥ denies 4c major, 5NT pick a slam)6♣-6♥6♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 For me the bididng is consistent if south is a passed hand and north opened a multi 2♦:It is also consistent with some variations of Reverse Benji. I think Muppet followed by pick a slam is obvious for the last part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
