No.

 

Why on earth do I think we have a heart trick?

 

Now, I can see how a heart lead might be the only way to beat a grand...[hv=pc=n&s=st43hkqj86dk94c95&w=sakqj987h2dq2caj3&n=s5h53djt865ct8762&e=s62hat974da73ckq4]399|300[/hv]

 

But holding 6S x'd to 12 tricks is worse than letting them make the overtrick:)

 

(I'm not serious about my example, but I am serious about wondering what the heck I was thinking when I doubled, if I did)

Three reasons to not x

 

1. see mikeh about being sure of a heart trick

2. Why do I think setting up a heart trick at 6s will set them

3. am I really 100% sure partner even has a heart to lead?

4. I'd like to play with PD next time.

5. I might like to play with either opp at some time.

6. I don't want to see this posted as an ATB.

I assure Neilkaz that this is not an ATB -- I claimed the blame.

Full deal on the left.

6♠X made easily -- an overtrick was possible -- We lost 20 X-imps.

At the remaining 9 tables, nobody bid the slam.[/hv]
