DavidKok Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 You fill in as a substitute at the local club, and play with an expert partner. You've agreed on 2/1 GF and a dozen bells and whistles, but there's always going to be gaps. Let me know your thoughts on the auction. Deal rotated to make South declarer.

helene_t Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 The auction is ok. I ruff the lead, draw trumps and (assuming there is no trump loser) concede a club. If clubs or trumps are 4-1 I can still hope for a favourable split in hearts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the auction is fine providing you had discussed some things like King reply showing number rather than specific suit, which is not what I would assume with an Expert partner (not that it changes anything here).If Turbo was agreed I would have preferred not to break out to RKCB, even after the convenient XX, but all roads lead to 6♠ in any case.

DavidKok Posted December 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 We had agreed number of kings, not specific kings. The auction is ok. I ruff the lead, draw trumps and (assuming there is no trump loser) concede a club. If clubs or trumps are 4-1 I can still hope for a favourable split in hearts.If trumps are 4-1 you are playing for heart Kxx onside, right? While with clubs 4-1 you only need the king of hearts onside with any length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL78 Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Didn't we already pull trumps? Yes, sorry I overlooked that bit of the plan and somehow assumed the duck happened at trick two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
