Well, it was the day before Thanksgiving, and we combined the 299er with the open at the club. This means that the results would have been pretty random, and Ted and I seem to have gotten the best of it, coming in first with a big score.

Can you get to 6H intelligently? We just went 2C - 2D - 2N - 3H - 3S - 4H - 6H.

I basically played this one double dummy, but honestly I wasn't sure what line to take. If LHO is 2155, then drawing 3 rounds of trump and then playing on hearts secures the contract.
If LHO is 1255, then if you decide to play the top three spades, you have to drive the 4th spade before playing on hearts. Otherwise, RHO can ruff the 4th round of hearts, and your 5th heart is stranded.
I started a big spade, crossed to dummy with a heart, and led the spade 9. I planned to finesse it, but RHO saved me the trouble and covered. If LHO played a heart honor when I crossed, then I'd play him for 2155.

I HATE HOLDING ACES!
Somebody help me :((
Update: Neil set me straight on why I have to fly the ace. Thanks Neil!

On 8, many would bid 2S over 2C. 6H seems the right place to be.
ReplyDeleteOn 9, I don't see a way to find out what the major suit distribution is. Your line makes for 11(56) and 1255, while running the spades makes for 2155. I think that means that your line is the better line.
