This is a hand 11 declarers played in 4s. According to GIB it's cold for 11 tricks. 4 declarers made due to a defense error after taking the same line as the declarers who went off. The rest (including a few 'stars') went off. (Im not sure the 'making' line is necessarily the best line though which is sort of why Im posting the hand).


Scoring: IMP

1d-1h-1s-4s


First five tricks were usually..

Q♣ taken by king
Small♦ to A♦
Ace of ♣ discarding diamond
Heart (both defenders following)
Spade to K or J holding (both defenders following)

Why would you ever play ace of diamonds and ace of clubs? You are just asking to get tapped in your hand, and for what purpose?

I wouldn't play it this way. Looks like if any has four trumps, it is WEST. Just let them make their trumps separately... lead hearts everytime from now on. Low heart from dummy... no ruff, play the tall.

♣Q lead

I like Inquiry's idea. Win opening lead with ♣K. Immediately lead ♠x to ♠K. If that wins play on ♥ hoping tp restrict losses to 3 trump tricks.

I win ♣K in dummy, lead a trump towards KJ in hand. If I win this I play a heart to the ace and another trump. If trumps are 4-1 I play hearts from here.
Kind regards,
Harald
