Codo Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 1. I bid 6 Club, I showed my Heart support already and will show thta my suit is REAL solid and playable opps a void. 2. I am not sure, that the club was a singelton. It is common practice, to play into the strength from dummy in the first trick. declarer may loose the communication between the hands or his timing. But anyway, I can see no way, which really will survive a good defence without great breaks.So I play the Queen of clubs and let her ride...If the king takes the first trick, I must hope for clubs 2-2 and trumps 2-2 with the king onside AND a club return. Not really a big chance.Even if the Queen wins the first trick I need the Hearts in this marvellous 2-2 shape to have a chance.But unluckily, I can see NO way to win if I take the ace in the first trick.... In 6 Club I just need the heart finesse or the C Kx onside, that had been a much better contract.... Kind Regards Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
