The ten comes back if you duck (north follows with the 4), followed by the ♥2 if you duck again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I would play the DQ and hope that the T comes down in 2 rounds. With all due respect, why are you in 3NT? The A9xx holding opposite a stiff should indicate that you want to play this hand in 5m. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Do opps lead 4th or 3rd/5th ? MPs or IMPs ? and difficult for 2♥ to be played on the 3rd round as I have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Duck twice and run the ♦Q. Hearts seem to be 5-3, so I can make even if south wins both the ♦KT. If not, I still might pick up the ♦Tx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gszes Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 IMPS and MP different play IMPS duck 3 rounds of hearts and see of opps hearts are 44--if so cash the dia ace in order to avoid having the stiff king over the Q or Jand 9 tricks should roll. If heats 53 then fall back on leading the dia Q attempting to lose a dia to rho if we have to lose one At MP I would duck hearts twice and lead the dia Q trying to make sureI lose a dia to rho if I have to lose one anywhere.

If necessary concede another ♦ to RHO. If RHO has ♦KTxxx you may have to fall back on a show-up squeeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Echoing Ron. I'd play as him, and yes 5♦ is an excellent contract. It ought to be reached when playing such fine methods ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ought to be reached when playing such fine methods ;) It would also be much more exciting due to double guard squeeze possiblities.
