foobar Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Are the opps playing standard or UDCA? Regardless, I might have ducked the first ♠ to limit their communication options (more out of general principle than anything specific to this hand). Anyway, having won the first ♠, I would guess to play for a general cross ruff hoping to score the small trumps in my hand with ♥ ruffs. Accordingly, advance the T♥ and see what they do next.

gnasher Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I'd duck the first spade. What do they do on this trick, and what happens next? And what signals do they play? A pure crossruff is problematic, because they can return a trump each time they're in, probably holding me to five or six trumps, one spade and one diamond. Instead, I may have to set up one hand or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I am not sure you can make it against the actual distribution, but I am 100% confident you went wrong a few tricks later when you started pulling trump. At that point, you had a likely cross-ruff available (just needing the ♣T onside, or a lucky heart distribution), and instead you played East for a 17 count (♦AK ♥AK ♠K). The cross-ruff would have lead to down one against the actual distribution (instead of -2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
