Spades are probably 5-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 The two reasonable lines seem to be pitch a diamond from your hand and lead a club off dummy, going for pitching 3 diamonds and picking up Kx of hearts onside, vs pitching 2 clubs from your hand, playing ace and a diamond, and hope to survive the ensuing madness (eg, RHO wins and plays a spade, I ruff with the 7, take a club tap in my hand (lead a diamond and ruff with the 9 or jack in dummy). Id probably go for the latter but maybe that's unwise. If it falls apart its gonna be bad lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'd go for the Morton's Fork, because it's more fun. I don't often say this, but I think this thread is in the wrong forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 pitching 2 clubs from your hand, playing ace and a diamond, and hope to survive the ensuing madness My initial thought but with ruffing a club, then playing a diamond. I usually play such a hand like this or similar for a few tricks, see if I'm still in contention and THEN make a plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y66 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 RHO has to have the HK for us to make this. He does not have to have the CA. So, no forking around for me. I'll pitch a club, then heart to queen and hope to lose only a spade and 2 diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I think I'll throw some losing clubs away. Thanks, East! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'd go for the discarding two clubs, ace and a diamond, and madness.I'd be happier if I had the 8 of hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 i take 2 club pitches followed by heart to the Q dia A and a diamond if rho wins and leads another spade ruff low and hope rho began with Kx trumps and 3 diamonds (or ruffing finesse against Lho in diamonds)*if lho wins the dia its a lot easier though we will be playing for 33 diamonds we will notcare if rho began with 2 or 3 hearts. *other defenses may allow us to lay down the heart A and take a ruffing finesse against lhoin diamonds if that seems reasonable.
