Winstonm Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 As for me, I would assume west has at least 2 clubs as he probably would have led a singleton. I can always get back to dummy with a club ruff so no hurry to play diamonds. The question is his red suit lengths. Trick 2 I lead a club. I won’t play on diamonds until I ruff the second club. My basic plan is to establish clubs then try to avoid 3 heart losers. PS: I might add it takes Qx or Qxx on my left to establish clubs. If rho plays low I play the king, ruff a club, then return to hand with a heart to ruff another club If rho rises, I will take the same approach if he plays a club back. If a heart is retuned, I play ace and ruff a club, then pitch both remaining spades on diamonds, ruff a diamond to hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
