wank Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Hook hearts and eliminate. Seems unlikely east will make a takeout double of clubs with a small singleton/void diamond 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve2005 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Hook hearts and eliminate. Seems unlikely east will make a takeout double of clubs with a small singleton/void diamondAs 1♠ showed diamonds I thinks it's very likely east is short in diamonds for their takeout.

SteveMoe Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 The bidding suggest RHO is short in ♦ and long in Majors. Pitch ♥10 and win opening lead cheaply in hand. Hook♦8. Draw trumps if 2-1 or 1-2. If 3-0, repeat finesse to ♦ 10 say, and finesse/clear ♥. (If lose to ♦K we need the ♣ finesse.) Now ♣A then ♣x leaves manageable x-ruff position, even if trump K is with LHO. Yes, when ♦K is still out (trumps 3-0) we need ♣ to be not longer than 3 with RHO.

wank Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Oh dear. Does no-one read the bidding notes? 1s was a transfer to 1nt. It didn't show diamonds and there's absolutely no reason to think rho is short in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr1303 Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 We don't have much to go on here. The double as "takeout" could mean anything, but given that there isn't much left for RHO to have, I'll give him the 3 kings and take the heart hook followed by an elimination.
