What line do you take at MPs? (Auction was 1♥-1♠-2♦-2N-3N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'll try a diamond to the ten, and if it loses, low on the spade return. At some point I will have to decide if I am overtaking the ♣K for an entry .. hope it isn't at trick three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 we are a trick ahead of the field with that club lead (most would probablyhave rebid 2n with the N hand vs 2d). IMO we do what we can to not jeopardizethat advantage. Trick 2 heart to Q --if it holds the best time to play the clubK is now then the heart A followed by another heart. I will be quite happy with4h 3c 1d 1s with a dia finesse available as an emergency or for an overtrick. I see little benefit to giving up more than 2s 1c 1h unless the opps force me to.

CamHenry Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Diamond to the 10 holds: what next? As for the H to the Q: that loses to the K, and you get a club return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Diamond to the 10 holds: what next?♥AQ. If a club comes back, win the K, strip hearts, and run ♠T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamHenry Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 OK. It turns out that all spade and diamond honours are onside, so making +2 wasn't very difficult. I was the only person in the room to do so, though: I wondered if there were difficulties or if another line was superior. (Incidentally, the club lead was repeated at all but one of the tables in 3NT; one NS pair had an accident and played 2♥). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond to the ten looks clear to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
