♥A and ♠Q? Around 50% I guess.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

I was mislead by commentators, who said that declarer was gonna make +1. LHO had ♠K singleton and declarer did go -2.

perhaps they were of the opinion that playing for the stiff K♠ combined with playing ♣ for ♦ pitches was better than the straight finesse

they were providing an unfortunate counterargument to my suggestion that commentators should not be discouraged from using GIB

Combining chances is a great principle, but there is also a principle that a lot of small chances may not add up to much.

Playing ♠A then ♣s is at most 30% total chance:
Singleton king either side -- about 12%
Long ♣ and long ♠ with RHO -- if lead shows ♥ length, about 10%
♣ 3-3 and RHO has ♠Kxx -- 7%
Long ♣ and long ♠ with LHO (along with the long ♥s) -- 1%.

Much would be achieved, if some commentators could only see two hands.

If Roland asks me to comment again I'll try it. (Duct tape.)

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.
