Alik1974 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 My guess is that declarer has 6♥, 3♦ and 4 blacks.He tries to ruff a ♦ in dummy.Other than the ♦Ace, P should provide 2 trump tricks and either a ♠ ruff or one more ♦.Playing the ♦9 caters for both when P gets an immediate ♠ruff, or when he must overtake and play on trumps.

Declarer cant have 3♦ because partner has either 2 o 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Maybe I misstook partner's signaling, because he had Axx on this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 it is hard to imagine why declarer would win the first trick with the dia K if they held AK. Given that information aloneit seems something strange is going on p has the dia A or T or both from the initial carding.while the 9 may work most of the time it fails whenp has only the AT left and made a desparation play toget a spade ruff (when they looked at that fantastic dummy)by ducking the first dia and getting us in with our J. The best dia play right now is the J which caters to allscenarios. If declarer started with AKxx pay off and get get some easier opponents to deal with sheeesh.

lalldonn Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I play the jack (in case partner had ATx) and attempt to give partner a spade ruff. I hope he made a good play by ducking the ace to leave me with an entry for just this purpose. Yes with ATx he could have played the T but I don't think the jack can cost so I may as well save him just in case he didn't. Edit: I didn't read the post right before mine. Change to "agree with gszes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
