You reach 3NT in the east on an auction that marks east with a strong 4-1-3-5 or 4-2-2-5 distribution and west with weak hand containing a heart suit.

South leads the ♦3 (fourth best) and North plays the 4.

Plaw low in dummy and take Q♦. Play the K♥ -- it would be weak defense to take the A♥ first round -- then play low to dummy. You can force an entry to dummy. I believe the goal should be 4 clubs, 4 red suit tricks and 1 spade.

 

If N has singleton A♥ you are probably home free. If he returns a diamond finesse and take the A♦ if the finesse loses, then force a club entry. If he returns a spade you should probably throw him back in in spades and rely on a minor suit finesse for a dummy entry.

climb with dia J trick 1 and lead the club J followed by the club 9. Hoping lho started

with a hand similar to this KJx Axx Kxxxx xx which will allow us to make life quite

difficult for lho on the run of the clubs. What 7 cards does lho hold after the run of the

clubs???? KJ Ax Kxx seems the most flexible maybe KJx A Kxx or KJx Ax Kx. IMO

by counting the number of diamonds they have left you should get a great picture

on the remaining cards in their hand and play accordingly. The overall plan would be

lay down the heart K trick 7 and assuming it is ducked either play the spade A and

another spade or the dia A and another dia depending on what you think lho has left.

We are aiming for 5 clubs 2 diamonds and 1h and 1s or 5 clubs 2 dia and 2 spades.

 

 

Let me play 4h next time it seems easier:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

yeah we bid it wrong, should have gotten to 4♥ easily, which happens to make

we play a basic form of precision and the auction went:

1♣ - 1♦

2♣ - 2♥

2♠ - 3♣

3NT

 

all calls save the first two are natural.

Should have been bid:

1♣ - 2♥!

4♥

 

2♥ = 4-6 pts with concentration in the heart suit
