I took my eye off the ball and misplayed this, as did the other declarer who was in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Is there a typo in the bidding, or should we really find a way to make 12 tricks on this hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Win spade Ace, pitching a heart. Finesse the club Q. Cash club Ace. Lead low heart. Win any return, cash heart ace, cross to dummy in clubs and ruff a heart back to hand. If hearts are 3-3, cross to diamond king and pitch a diamond on the long heart winner. If this doesn't work, there is a remote chance of a squeeze but I wouldn't count on it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
