lamford Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 One I had not seen before, but I had last night: North: ♠ JT86South: ♠ A75 for three tricks. You have entries in spades, in more ways than one. If it goes jack, small, small, small. What now?a) against world-class opponentsb) against average opponents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I guess against average opponents, you run the 10 to cater for 9x in the West hand. Against WC opponents, H9xx-Hx becomes too likely, so cash the ace. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_20686 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 I think that b depends which hand is in dummy. Its much easier to duck from Hx when you know that your partner does not have H98x. Also, if they do cover, it might be from H9x? So its not obvious that even if you do cover that you should play back to the 8 rather than the J. At least to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
