mike777 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Dealer: East Vul: None Scoring: IMP ♠ J954 ♥ QT ♦ Q752 ♣ T52 doc/images/table.png ♠ 632 ♥ J5 ♦ A4 ♣ AKQ763 2C* (2H)All Pass *Precision Partner leads the CJ. You overtake with the CQ and continue with the CK. Everyone follows. For trick 3 do you lead the ace or the three as suit preference for diamonds? Neither! Good Grief! Lead Ace of clubs as suit preference in D so declarer does not get a pitch. You have shown D card by playing up the line in clubs and not down the line with AKQ.

Guest Jlall Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 ace, dont give declarer a free pitch. your queen and king of clubs were suit preference (lowest then second lowest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 You already had 6 (yeah six) different options on playing first 2 tricks, you don't really need any further suit preference after that, specially when it may cost a trick.

Fluffy Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 ITs a matter f agreements if ♣Q+♣K shows ♦A or ♦K, as oposed to ♣K+♣Q B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double ! Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 would win first trick with King, then play ace, then queen, the lowest of the 3 honors (to avoid loser on loser). How would you all interpret that sequence of plays? (made under an assumed name, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Middle then high? I think this is a trump return mandatory :rolleyes:, or maybe it is a return what you want signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 As others said: now is NOT the time for suit preference, the time was about 2 tricks ago. The way you play your tophonours shows suit preference, not which card you play now. Playing the 3 is absolute madness, so you even don't have the possibility to show a suit preference signal at this point with 1 card.

PriorKnowledge Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Cash the AD first, then lead the AC. Never signal something that might cost a trick. So can't underlead the AC. Second, why give declarer a chance for a loser-on-loser play. So cash the AD first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
