Walddk Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 [hv=d=s&v=n&n=sj63h72da1063cq865&s=sakq1098hk6d7cak72]133|200|Scoring: IMPS: 6SEast has overcalled heartsLead: C9[/hv] You arrived in a reasonable 6♠ given the auction where East is a favourite to hold ♥A. Without interference the slam is rather bad, around 34% because it needs ♥A on side and clubs 3-2. Anyway, that's academic, because East overcalled 3♥ after 1♠ pass 2♠. West leads ♣9. Plain sailing now, isn't it? Roland P.S. No jokes about my slams please :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 First you should play small from dummy incase west has 109xx or j9xx in clubs.Now there is a point in ruffing 2 diamonds in hand, but imo you will still be in a guess later, even if east turn out to have only 2 diamonds(3 would make it even harder), you still wont be sure if west kept A of heart single or a small heart single. still it will have a good chance since you will see how west discard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
