Phil Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 An early morning meeting got me out of my typical routine, so I got up early pacific time to watch some of the juniors semifinals. You play in 5Cx'd: QJ7xx XxAKJxx K 6XKxTQJT87XXX 1H pass 4H 4SX 5C P PX AP Maybe you play 3C as guessed-phlegm or something like that but you are R/W which might have scared you off anyway. Opps play Polish Club is it matters. 1. HQ,x,A,x 2-4: K-A-Lowest spade. LHO follows twice. You ruff high and LHO pitches a heart. 5. Club to KING and RHOs Ace. 6. Last spade....? If you can figures out the c9 you can minimize the damage. Your play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullve Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Why didn't I play ♦AK to find out more about RHO's shape before playing a trump? That would have solved the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alok c Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 As Rho has'nt opened 1nt it is presumed that he has a sigleton.If the singleton is ♣ then ♣9 gets promoted so only hope that he has a singleton ♦ & ♣A9x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to know how 1♥ being Polish affects their 4♥ response. Is 2452 really a possibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alok c Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 With maximum 5 high card points,Lho's jump to 4♥ requires more extreme distribution Imo,like 2-4-6-1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have solved the problem.And that's the point to the story. WD. LHO was indeed 2452 this time. Declarer did not find the correct line.
