nullve Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Getting too short in trumps seems to be the biggest danger, so I'll play the J from dummy and pitch a heart when RHO covers. Edit: No, I'll pitch a club instead, with a view to ruffing the 4th heart with the trump 9. Edited March 26, 2018 by nullve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 I never thought the QJ of diamonds were worth squat but here they should regain us the lost tempo of the opening lead. I am aiming for 4s 4c 2h but can settle for 4s 3c 1d 2h OR 4s 3c 3h. Pitch a heart from hand when rho covers the dia J and await how the defense responds. club switch uselessly try the 9 then small trump to A followed by the K and the J (assuming trumps broke 41 ruff the dia return (uselessly trying the other top dia) draw last trump and we are down to clubs breaking 32dia if small throw another heart (4s 3c 1d 2h) attack trumps from the top. if high(?) go ahead and ruff small If rho bid only 2d with AKxxxxxxx they deserve to beat u:) (4s 3c 1d 2h) trump switch go ahead and let it ride toward the 9 because even if it loses to the stiff Q we have a huge chance of a club heart Squeeze against lho for 10 tricks if clubs break 41 (4s 3c 3h)heart switch win in hand and attack trump s from the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash ♠AIf both follow to ♠A , you hope to ruff 3 ♦ in hand and a ♥ in dummy (probably, en passant),If LHO has 5♠s you can usually still succeed, on a similar line, provided you can read defenders' shape.[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 My mistake. Dummy did not have a high spade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
