You play low from the dummy, and the J of spades pops up. Can you get home from here? I'll be generous and allow you to have 3-2 diamonds.

Cyberyeti Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Easily enough if K♣ is on my left, not sure if it's on my right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnu Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Win ♠A, and then ♦KJ, ♣A, ♦A, ruffing finesse in clubs. If trumps are 4-1, you need to be able to get back to dummy with a spade to draw the last trump, pitch a heart on a good club, and run the spades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogs Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Easily enough if K♣ is on my left, not sure if it's on my right.I don't see it. Even if the ♣K is onside, you must risk going down 2. Draw trumps. Run 5 spades. Cash ♣A. 4 card end position with lead in dummy. ♥ Q65♦ J ♦ 5♣ QJ9 Can't return to hand after the ♣J is set up. You can take the club hook before running the 5 spades.That risk going down 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I think you have to risk -2 and play clubs early to have the entries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
