Fluffy Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 [hv=pc=n&s=sa8753hkq753dtcj3&w=s6ha962da975caq52&n=skt42hj4dq642ct96&e=sqj9ht8dkj83ck874&d=n&v=n&b=5&a=pp1sd2s2np3cpp3sppp&p=s6sks9s3h4hthkhah2hjh8h5s2sjsac5h7h6d2sqc4c3cqc6dad4d8dtd5d6djs5hqh9c9c7h3d7ct]399|300[/hv] I took advantage of EW not having a firm agreement on the meaning of 2NT, but it was quite hard. First I won ♠K to lead a heart from dummy, if spades are 2-2 the hand makes easilly but when they are 3-1 I need ♠A to get to my hand. Playing a heart to the King lets West think partner might have ♥Q10(x) so he returns a heart which gives me 1 tempo, 1 step closer to my objective. I come to hand with ♠A discovering the bad news, and now I lead ♥7, intending to ruff it in dummy, tempting East to overruff, in which case he has to cash out properly, or else I will be able to ruff a club in dummy. However West forgets to cover ♥7 which makes me guess if East has ♥108 or ♥1098, I guess the former and risk running it, but now I gotta be careful not to discard a club, otherwise they will instantly cash ♣AK before playing diamonds, I discard a diamond first to let them think I might want to keep the clubs for something. East ruffs the trick and plays an attitude club through, West wins, cashes ♦A and sees an encouraging signal from East, and here is where the lack of knowledge towards 2NT bid comes, When partner is 3-5 in the minors, a second club lets me pitch 3 diamonds from dummy and ruff another, he guesses wrong and I make the contract. Not worth much since my teammates bid and made 5♦X 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 I was the victim on this gem today:[hv=pc=n&s=st962h6dat852ca82&w=sa4hkqj72dkqjckq3&n=sj73ht9d963cjt964&e=skq85ha8543d74c75&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=2np3cp3h(could%20be%204)p4hppp&p=cjc5cacqc8ckc4c7h2h9hah6d4d2dqd3hkhth3d5c3c6h4c2h5d8hjd6hqc9h8dth7ct]399|300[/hv] Declarer is the Polish-Spannish star Artur Wasik, he opened 2NT, and answered 3♥ to stayman that could be 4-card onlyOn ♣J lead I hessitated perhaps too much on first trick debating to let it run and win some info, or perhaps win ♣A and risk a low diamond hoping declarer has exactly ♦KJ (or an unlikely QJ) In the end I decided against since it was really risky to play a low diamond in case declarer had ♦KQ with the obvious pitch from ♣KQ. But when I won ♣A, declarer droped ♣Q, an obvious doubleton..., I saw no danger at all, I could just return a low diamond on this position, but it shouldn't matter, declarer has at most 5♥, 4♠, 1♣, so he will need to tackle diamonds himself sooner or later, and hopefully missguess if he has KJ. Little did I know, declarer had 5♥ tricks from hand, and to add to those he also had a club ruff in dummy, and although he didn't have ♠J, after sneaking a diamond through he squeezed me for the 12th trick. +480 collected all the MPs on the board.
