antonylee Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 for starters, duck. take 2nd spade and play heart upLoses on your right to the K (but the A appears on your left when you play a 2nd heart up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 The opps have no good reason to think spades are bad for them and good for us soit seems best to try and keep that illusion alive by winning the first spade and leading a heart. There is a fair chance rho has Hx in spades so they may not beable to lead a 3rd spade (which would be good for us sigh) but at least we can tryto cut down on spade overruffs by trying to draw trumps as fast as possible and hopingfor the dia K onside as well as reasonable heart breaks.

whereagles Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I imagine opps shift to a club when in with the first heart. And yes, I do play another one up. Assuming a 2nd club comes up, I'll try ruffing a spade to enter dummy. I'm probably down, as this is too simple a line :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antonylee Posted November 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 But that's exactly the question: can you at least partially combine the chances in spades and diamonds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
