gszes Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 IMHO I think the best plan is to assume rho has long diamonds and the club ace. The bidding would indeed be helpful since only an insane lho would lead a diamond with Qxxx when we have bid and raised diamonds. SO I would win trick 1 run all but 1 spade then play hearts ending in dummy the final 4 cards are !D Jx !C KQ opposite !S2 !Daxx what 4 cards can rho hold onto? if they hold only 2!c and 2!D we yield a dia trick and take the rest while if they hold the stiff !CA and 3 dia we lead the club K and they have to lead away from the Q at trick 12. This lop requires a very plausible rho holding of 3343 or less hearts and more clubs. As Kaitlyn s points out a singleton dia lead is a ton more consistent with an aceless hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I was gonna suggest ♥AK+♥Q and play ♣K from dummy and ruff ♣A when East covers (Which in my experience people do mostly all the time, but it might depend on the bidding which is not given). then follow a small diamond from hand. But upon reading Adam's line I think I like his more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
