After Club Ace lead, West shits to a Trumo, East playing the Ten. Best line to make ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotShot Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Seems that LHO holds 3 Trumps.I'd play it save ( so i won't loose more than one): ruff a ♣, play a small ♦and draw AK, ruff a small ♦ at the table, draw a round of trump and exit in ♥. I make it if ♦ are 3-3 or the Q is double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant play: a small ♦ take it with A and continue with the K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 win the trump in dummy...if they're 2-2 then: ruff heart, DDDruff (claim if queen has dropped). If not thenruff heart claim if hearts are 3-3. If not then i go down. if trumps are 3-1... play diamond diamond diamond ruff, heart ruff in hand, club ruff in dummy, heart ruff in hand. This needs DQ to drop in 3 rounds. If not i go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This needs DQ to drop in 3 rounds. If not i go down. Justin, in the actual hand, I did not play hearts right away but I decided to play immediately on diamonds to be able to ruff twice (ruffing high a 3rd diamond and ruffing the club loser). I thought this line would cater for diamonds no worse than 4-2 as well as all positions with trumps 3-1. On the other hand, I was worried that playing on hearts (low to K) would allow opps to reduce my ruffs.----------------------------------- Obviously, diamonds were split 5-1 with trumps 2-2 :P, so the second diamond was ruffed and I lost 1C,1Druff and 1H for down 1.... :) Can you comment on my reasoning ?
