Scoring: IMP


opps are silent. you have a natural auction, which i can't remember, to 6C by S. your bidding suggests a heart lead. lo and behold they lead the 2nd lowest heart out, playing 4th highest.

RHO plays the 10.

Andrew Robson had the same hand and took a different line. I made and he went off. I would like to think that makes me a better player, but I'm not quite deluded enough for that.

Still, what's the right line here?

If the opps' abilities make a difference to you, these opps are decently above average in a national Swiss tournament, but you seriously doubt they're world beaters.

Have you really been thinking about this since August 2009, or have you only just got around to looking at the hand records?

Also, are you sure we had ♣7? I thought it was KQ52 opposite A986.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Diamond at trick 2, where I guess right.

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.

If we compare the position we are in when the king holds, with the position we are in when the jack forces out the ace, it doesn't seem that close.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

yes deffo had the 7 cos it affected my line of play. and you must know how busy my schedule is - it's hard to fit in adding a hand here amongst the daily grind

and as for scrote, he's only whining cos he went off too.

Yeh I remember as I was sat opposite him :(

As I recall though; he took a similar line to Robson, so difficult to criticise too much...
