To Chamaco:
When you have 9 trumps, a 3-2 trump break
is much less than 68%, namely 0%.

I wager the example hand has more than 50% odds with
9 trumps.

I don't think that's possible!  If you could crossruff 10 tricks, ok, but you can't.  You need 10 trumps, but that means you already have 1HCP  :)  Also, even if you would have 10 trumps with 0HCP, someone would be able to overruff you sooner or later, since you only have 3 suits to ruff, and 1 hand will ruff 2 suits, the other hand will ruff only 1 suit, and it can split maximum 4-4  :D

9 tricks with 0 HCP combined is the maximum I think, but with proper defense you won't even reach that I'm afraid  :)



I'll wager 4♠ makes over half the time. Wanna take me up on that?

I want a laydown game with 0 HCP :)

Can't have a laydown...a 4-0 trump break with the AKQJ on one side is kinda tough to overcome.
