Fluffy Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 If clubs are 6-3 sneaking a club trick could work, however it will force us to give up on ♦QJ onside, which is more likely than the sneak, so it is not worth it. So I would go for the simple ♥A + spade to the 10, if ♠Q loses diamond double finesse will be needed, perhaps with ♣Q on our right if diamonds don't break.

Hanoi5 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 ♠J and if nothing weird happens I'll go up with the K. If RHO holds AQx and I don't guess it the double finesse in diamonds is more likely to work, I suppose. But I'm counting on Q-Axx or Qx-Ax in spades.

beatrix45 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 You take the percentage play in trumps - ♥ ace followed by the ♠ jack. Floated if small and no obvious hitch by RHO. If that fails, the ♦ double hook is a fall back. All of the girls in my Thursday afternoon rubber bridge game (10 cents Canadian per point) would play it the same way.

Well, it must be a strong game at $10 per hundred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 If you assume the ♠A is onside and the suit isn't 4-0, the normal percentage play isn't % anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
