Amusing hand


Recommended Posts

Warning - spoiler below

 

This cropped up tonight

Imps v vs nv

You hold as dealer. For thos who now me, yes 3C is pusillanimous, but I don't have 4C available as a pre empt. Could open 3nt, but this hand has potential in H as well - see below. :-)

3C (P) 3H (3S)

4H (4S) 5D (P)

?

 

3C showed a good pre empt - at least 2 of the top 3, 3H was forcing, 5D was ongoing, indicating a good lead against a sac

Problem 1 - Your bid?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Problem 2. Play the cntract

Whatever, you bid 6H and get x

lead is the 2 of C

You hold

This is a nightmare!

I assume the club is a singleton.... I can't! find a way to win 6h if East has Kxx of clubs and Kxx of hearts :-(

I win if east has Kx of hearts or if he has Kxxx of hearts oh my god,I'm going to misguess this one....

Take the club and play the cA

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
