mikeh Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm not sure why the hand is posted (I am not criticizing, merely confessing my uncertainty). However, there are some useful points here. 1. N can and should continue with the club 10 at trick 2 to make sure S knows that the clubs don't need leading through. This will help S make a better decision when in with the diamond K, tho N won't foresee the exact details. Compare this to KQJ9...now S has to at some point lead that 3rd club, but N can see that he'd far rather get spades led on the actual hand. 2. S has a bit of a guess when in with the diamond K, precisely because he doesn't know that N's clubs are solid. However, there cannot be any rush to lead clubs, since S has diamonds controlled and the A of hearts, plus the spade Q. I'd suggest a spade switch here, but that would be a heck of a lot easier had N played the club 10 at trick 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm not sure why the hand is posted (I am not criticizing, merely confessing my uncertainty). However, there are some useful points here. There were comments questioning why JEC hands were no longer being posted for discussion. I have dutifully just finished posting the 28 hands. :) I appreciate being able to play these games and I'm happy to post the hands if that's what people want.

I, for one, appreciate your efforts..thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_corgi Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 ... I, for one, appreciate your efforts..thanks Me too. A technical point about in which order a defender plays low spot cards may be the major talking point about a hand. It is difficult to anticipate which hands will create such interest. The format of one hand per thread is cumbersome, but alternatives have their own disadvantages and I doubt there is a good solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I certainly didn't expect all 28 boards being posted :) Sorry if you felt compelled to post each and every board - but maybe all were equally exciting from your POV lol Thank you for posting. I missed these discussions, as I mentioned in the JEC match thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
