Walddk Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 [hv=d=s&v=b&n=sk10532haq93dj64cj&s=sahj4da105ckq107642]133|200|Scoring: IMPS: 3NTLead: D3[/hv] You arrived in a normal looking 3NT with no interference. The lead is ♦3 to East's queen and your ace. Plenty of tricks if clubs come in, but the communcications are poor. How do you go about this? Is 67.83% good enough for you? No more hints.

Flame Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Unless the 10 win, Id play the K of clubs first. I like the easy lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgeboy Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 As stated, I'm home if clubs are 3-2, and it seems if you don't take club tricks you won't be able to make. I would take D ace, cross over to H ace and lead a club from dummy. If East plays small, I will overtake and play clubs from the top. THis will improve things when East have a singleton Ace of C. (As opposed to K of clubs from hand) Not sure if this is the solution wanted but cannot see if I can cater for other 4-1 breaks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 i'd finesse the ♥Q... if it loses (assuming east takes the K), i have another entry to the clubs... if it wins, i lead the ♣J, planning on overtaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worse, he might return a diamond, when they split 5-2 and LHO has the club ace. Arend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
