AL78 Posted October 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Do they bid a 4 card major before a 4 card minor? Don't know for certain but I would say likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL78 Posted October 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Ace and a club That is what I did. At the time I could see little point in ducking but I wondered after if ducking is better if declarer holds the KQ and might not think to make a second club trick by forcing my ace on thin air. Declarer did hold ♣KQ and 11 tricks were made. That was shared with half the tables, the other half which held it to 10 tricks didn't lead a club so maybe this is more down to an unfortunate lead.

Evies Dad Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Same.QJ diamonds is too slow and might trap partners QKT hearts isn't enough.Plus the max gain is partner having KJTxx clubs where you make 6 tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
