mgoetze Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Opps bidding does not exactly inspire confidence that they are in a good contract. I'll try to not blow a trick and let them sort it out. Trump seems reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordontd Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 If you trust their bidding they won't have two diamond losers, so I'd try to build a second trick to go with the DA by leading a small heart, hoping for partner to have the HQ.

whereagles Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I think I'd go with the A♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Did you really mean 1 ace and not 1 keycard? Anyway, it seems like our chances are Try to lead ♥ and expect to defeat by taking 2 red tricks.Try to cash ♦ A and expect to defeat when pd has Qxx ♠In both cases you need pd to hold a Q, so they are playing a slam with 28 hcp. This tells me that responder has shape for driving to slam with less than slam values. At least 5-5. In order to ♥ lead to work, you need them to play a 5-3 fit otherwise they will be able to clear trumps and run clubs pitching ♥ losers OR all the diamonds NT opener holds. Of course there are exceptions to this but still. You also need the shapely hand not to be short in ♥ suit (5125 wont' help you even if you find Q with your pd) But ♦ A lead will work each time pd has Qxx or Kxx ♠ in addition to when they hold a hidden 5-2 ♦ (responder 6142/5125 snd opener 3253/3352) so pd can ruff 2nd ♦. Unlikely but possibility. Also another tiny chance that we can cash AK ♦ This is why I asked the question whether 4 NT was asking only aces or keycards. In keycard system, responder could have asked about the trump Q, or maybe he did not bother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
