cherdano Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Here is one I had the pleasure of getting wrong. [hv=pc=n&s=sahk9852d842cak32&n=sq9852hjt7dak7cj6&d=n&v=b&b=13&a=1s2c2hp3hp4hppp]266|200[/hv] ♣7 led. Opponents' two-level overcalls are aggressive but certainly not crazy.

I feel like the second round of clubs will get ruffed (it's unlikely the opp has overcalled vul on five to the Q10). If the defence then follow up HA and another we're a bit stuffed. Still, I'm not seeing many options for a 10th trick if we can't score the CK and also two club ruffs (or long spades, which we don't have the entries for). Will keep thinking... ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaitlyn S Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 What are the opponents' lead conventions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellSpyder Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 What are the opponents' lead conventions?They probably haven't discussed which card to lead from a singleton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If East has 6 clubs he likely should have no more than 3 spades[hv=pc=n&s=sahk9852d842cak32&w=sjt76hq64djt965c7&n=sq9852hjt7dak7cj6&e=sk43ha3dq3cqt9854&d=n&v=b&b=13&a=1s2c2hp3hp4h]399|300[/hv]T1:♣KT2:♠AT3:♣A ruffed by WestT4:♦AT5:spade ruffT6:heart If East wins and returns a diamond, win, ruff spade, cash heart king and ruff a club and discard your remaining losers on the spades.If West wins and plays a second diamond, you can cross ruff the black suits.

cherdano Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Well done. East had ♠KJx ♥A ♦Qxx ♣QT98xx - I think Rainer's line works here, too. I am not sure East needs ♠K for his overcall (it was Hugh McGann), but it's still likely. I instead played for ♥Q onside and trumps 3-2: ♣A, ♦A, ♥ taken by the ace, club return ducked. Rainer's line seems better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
