Winstonm Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 In a team of 4 game, you reach the inferior contract of 3NT. How do you survive after the lead of the 4 of clubs, 2, J, Q?

smerriman Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 I'll keep things simple. Spade, overtake spade; if they break 3-2, then we knock out the last spade and claim. If not, take the double diamond finesse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBengtsson Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 I go with 68% chance. I play ♠K overtake ♠Q with ace and another ♠. that should give me ♠5♥1♦1♣2 for contract. if ♠ are 4-1 i might be able to stop this line if west shows out. then what? mmm.... smerriman got there first. I will type quicker next time :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted August 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Yes, I should have known this one was too simple for this crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, it's nice to get one right for once :) Always easier when you know 'cash 3 top spades and hope they break' can't be the answer anymore..
