wanoff Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Assuming ♦8 is honest and singleton, win, cash trump A and concede the ♦K.Win the return in dummy and draw Easts trump(s) by running diamonds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I don't think this can be made if the lead is singleton. I'll go up with the ace and pray the king drops. Now take a trump finesse and the contract will be either +1 or -2/3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 It is impossible to have much confidence in any answer without knowing the auction. In addition, one needs to know the calibre of the opps. Depending on the auction, a strong LHO may have good reason to lead a diamond from K8 or even K8x. The opps were surely in the auction with all their black cards. Playing the diamond Ace to guard against the 8 being stiff makes little sense. You can't pull trump, even with a winning finesse, since they cash spades when they win the diamond K. You play the diamond Ace to drop rho's presumed stiff king. This is why you need to be able to assess LHO, the auction, and whether LHO may be able to work out that he needs to lead from the K.

nige1 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 [hv=pc=n&s=sq96haqjt842d72c3&n=sh93daqjt9654ca97]200|300|zdedo asks "How to make this one playing 6♥ lead 8♦" Has LHO made a cunning lead or does RHO hold ♦K? If RHO has doubleton ♦K, then you seem to be doomed :( I guess to finesse. If you finesse ♦Q and that loses to singleton ♦K, all is not necessarily lost :) You still succeed when RHO has ♥Kx.[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
