You play the Qh and dummy will discard a D. The hearts are -------AKT43 965--------------7 -------QJ82 What do you do if partner overtake the Q and return with the 4. What if he play the 4 or the T under your Q ? What about if the pointed suit are switched on dummy ? Also does it change something if he play the 4 rather than the 3 at trick 2 ?

gszes Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 If both partners know p can leave you in for 2 entries or overtakeand lead back to you (leaving you with 1 entry) it is far more importantto switch immediately when p leaves you in. that generally means p first return toward your hand is the most important suitpreference signal. Leaving you in generally means to make the obvious shift but in the case where there are carding choices just look fo the general high/low to determine which suit.

Free Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 There are 2 ways to play your ♥QJ: either you take trick 2 with the Jack, or you take trick 2 with the Queen. Basically you can signal to partner if he has to overtake trick 3 or not. For us, when I'd play Q-J partner should overtake. If I play J-Q it means I have another ♥.

TWO4BRIDGE Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Is it right to lead the A from A K 10 x x ?? Afterall, you would need some help from partner to run the suit . Isn't it better to lead 4th best ? Why take a chance on suit blockage . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 3Nt was doubled and declarer denied 4M. So the count of the hearts and how the points are split is knowned, its also why partner led the A from AKTxx. if partner got with KJ of D and the A of clubs you need to switch D twice. While if hes got the K of S a S switch is necessary. If partner play the T of H (the only play that is giving you 2 entries) does it suggest diamonds ?

han Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Partner either has the ace of clubs and a side king or the AQ of diamonds. Looking at dummy partner should be able to count on us to play a diamond. We must have a very strong reason not to play a diamond back, and we don't have one.

han Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 By the way, I think the last pass by east was really bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
