Standard leads so no indication how the honours are split O yes its teams so you need a make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FelicityR Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Very difficult in my humble opinion. With so few extra tricks available, and a guess in ♠s needed, too, I would play low from dummy at trick one which automatically guarantees me one trick in the ♦ suit whatever the distribution. If the defenders can clear the ♦s quickly on the first few tricks, it might give you a small indication where the honour cards in the other suits are likely to be.

Cyberyeti Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 YOu need miracles here, I play for A109xx/Qx and win the K I now run the spade J, then if that all goes well I have 4 spades, one diamond one heart and 2 clubs, so my next option is to play W for ♥Ax or to give me a second diamond trick. If neither happens and he plays a passive club I'll try hearts 3-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Unfortunately my line doesn't quite work, I only have 8 tricks, I need W to have 3 or less hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
