From the local club game last night.

H-QT

D-K95

C-T84

 

South

S-74

H-AK84

D-A83

C-AK96

 

Opening lead 2 of Hearts. Dummy's Ten wins

 

Best play? What if the game was IMPs?

We have 4 heart tricks and 2 diammonds, so we need 6 tricks from the black suits.

 

Lines:

 

a) Play for 4 spade tricks and 2 club tricks.

:D Play for 3 club tricks and 3 spade tricks.

 

a) Is about 60% (the sp suit for 4 tricks = 62% and the club suit for 2 is 100%)

B) Is about 0.375 (sp finesse = 50%, double fin in clubs = 75%)

 

So we must play on spades.

 

At MPs play the sA and then finesse the sJ.

At imps play the sA, if RHO drops the T, 9 or Q then finesse the 8 (restricted choice).
