gszes Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 it is easy to make double dummy and play problems are better shown w/othe opposing hands (wait for a few days). The problem with this hand isthat a correct guess in spades gives you 12 tricks (after you discover theunfortunate heart break). Doing anything other than trying to find the spadequeen is bound to be inferior in the long run. Using vacant spaces we playrho for the spade Q and we go down wishing we were in 6h so it was onlydown 1. So establish hearts (if there is a squeeze pending all of those heart might puteast in a bad place). Assess where you are after seeing how east tosses cardsand decide from there (who knows maybe they will toss a lot of small spades).....

gnasher Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 My way needs east has one of sq and ck,I can make it by double squeezing(east holds diamond,west holds heart,none can hold 3rd club)That's not quite true. Suppose that East has ♣K but not ♠Q, When West wins the spade, he plays back a club to East's king. Now your double squeeze doesn't work. You can still squeeze somebody between ♣J and a red-suit guard, but you have to guess who to squeeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I'd have played it the same way as you did, except that I'd have cashed ♠K before running the jack. East is odds-on to have ♠Q; if he does you have twelve tricks by setting up hearts, and if he doesn't you still have chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
