Cash ♦A. ruff a ♦. Cash ♥AK, chucking ♣K. Discard a ♦ on ♥T if good. Otherwise, ruff a ♣. Play ♠A and another.

whereagles Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Bread and butter approach here: take ace, disc a club on hearts, finesse spade. Wins with 3-2 spades and king onside by means of 6 spades, 2 hearts, 2 diamonds, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Molyb Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I went with win Ace, ♥AK pitching a club, ruff heart, ruff diamond, if the ♥T is established cash it discarding a diamond, otherwise finesse spade. I might have thought about it wrong though. Don't like nige1's approach because if ♦Q loses, they cash a club and play a trump, you're losing 2 diamonds, a club, and a trump no matter what.

Fluffy Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 The spade finesse will be very hard to acomplish once you ruff a diamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhm Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 It seems to me likely that the ♦K is with East ♦A ♥A,K club discard ♣ ruff Now ♦Q for a ruffing finesse. If it looses they will have to play a trump, or you can play a ruffing finesse against the ♦JIf they play trump you can try your luck with the spade finesse. If you can ruff out the diamond king you ruff another club and play ♠A and another hoping for two trump loser and one diamond loser.

Fluffy Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 You were right about ♦K position Rainer, how did you reason that?, at the table I reasoned that the auction screamed for a diamond lead from any holding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 maybe people have been reading Bird/Anthias? Anyway, its at least as good a shot as other lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
