AL78 Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 After a hideous evening of 41% (my worst evening for a long time), I played this slam (which we shouldn't have been in). [hv=pc=n&s=stha932d943cq7653&w=s832hq864dkj87ca8&n=sq654ht75dq65cjt2&e=sakj97hkjdat2ck94&d=e&v=n&b=2&a=1sp3cp4dp5cp6sppp&p=c5cac2c4s2s4sjstckc3c8ctc9c6s8cjs3s5sac7hkh2h4h5hjhah6h7cqh8d5s7dad3d7d6d2d4dkdqhqhtdth3d8s6s9d9skh9dj]399|300[/hv] 3♣ showed 10-12 HCP, 3 card support. I realised I made life hard for myself. The ♠T dropping meant I could have taken the finesse a second time and made it, but where's the fun in that (and it was the last hand, I was a bit tired, cock-ups are more likely)? North could have thwarted it by throwing his last heart on the fourth round of clubs, then I can't throw the diamond at trick 11 to play through his trump holding at trick 12. What is is called when you can't take a marked finesse, so you shorten your trumps , cash all your side winners, and come to an ending with a trump tenace over the opponent and use a non-trump card to take the finesse?
