Lord Molyb Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 [hv=pc=n&s=saj8642hj2daca432&w=shdtc&n=skt53ha3dkqj82cqj&e=shd3c]399|300[/hv]South played 7♠ on the ♦T lead, east playing the three. No matter how south played the hand, he could not escape a very unlucky down one despite his best efforts.The bidding was a standard jacoby 2NT auction.What were the approximate east/west hands if west had both missing queens and at least 3 hearts as well as 3 spades? Hint: West did not lead from a doubleton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige1 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 [hv=pc=n&s=saj8642hj2daca432&w=sQ97hQT987dtcKT98&n=skt53ha3dkqj82cqj&e=shK654d976543c765]399|300| Thanks Molyb. Preliminary analysis ....If LHO has ♣K and RHO has the ♦ declarer usually fails [/hv][hv=pc=n&s=saj8642hj2daca432&w=sQ97hQT9dt9765cKT&n=skt53ha3dkqj82cqj&e=shK87654d43c98765]399|300|But if lHO has the ♦ stop then he may need to lead a ♥ to beat the contract. Otherwise - ♠ squeeze LHO out of his ♥ guard. Then ...- ♥A squeezes LHO out of his ♣ guard. Finally...- ♦ squeeze RHO in the round suits.[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
