ahydra Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 IMPs, weak opps, both vul. 5cM weak NT, 2/1 not GF. [hv=pc=n&s=sqjhj853dakj94ct4&n=sa9854hkdckqj9865&d=s&v=b&b=13&a=1dp2c2hpp2sp2np]266|200[/hv] 2NT = 11-14, with heart stop 1) What do you bid here as N?2) At the table I picked 4S which was passed out. How would you play it on the lead of the ♠7? (First trick goes Q, K, A) Thanks, ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyC Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I'm confident that 3S is forcing, so I would bid that (planning to pull 3NT to 4C). In 4S, even after the favourable lead, it doesn't look good. I'd cross to the ♠J, play the ♦A pitching the heart, and play ♣T to my ♣J. If spades aren't favorable, i'm in a lot of trouble!

BunnyGo Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 As long as spades are no worse than 4-2, I'm happy. Wesley's line is exactly right, and I just keep playing clubs whenever I'm on lead and let them ruff in whenever they want. This is also the line at matchpoints, as I'm ahead of the field by pitching my heart and by not being in 5C which doesn't make an overtrick without help.
