Bridge Information
Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Can you work this out?
- Assuming you are always going to get a ♦ lead, then Bernie is probably right for the two jacks case. For the three jacks case, I make the odds 96% off the ♣J, 100% off the ♦J, 90% off the ♥J, and 36% off the ♠J (ignoring partner having the ...
- Can you work this out?
- Not bad, it only took me 26 minutes to work this out and type it. Directors are hovering.
- Can you work this out?
- Spades - there are 84 possible holdings for him, 28 have the Jack (1/3). Hearts - there are 7 possible heart holdings for him, one has the J (1/7) Diamonds - there are 21 possible diamond holdings for him, 6 have the Jack (2/7). Clubs - there are 8 possible club ...
- The Damle Files: Problem 12
- I disagree with the ♥ shift. There is no reasonable construction where partner does not have all the missing diamonds. South would hardly have taken the push to the 5-level with two losers there. And hearts is the "obvious" shift - if partner wants a heart shift, all he has to ...
- Terror at Mid-America Center
- Here's a situation analogous to Peg's problem. It's the first board of a 9 AM knockout. You deal, and pick up AQ10x.KQx.J10xx.Kx. You open 1NT, and fold your hand up as is your normal custom. Partner bids 2H, a transfer to spades. You now ...
- BATHURST IS USA 2
- Congratulations to all of you guys. Knock them dead in Veldhoven. I know I'm getting old when I know as many fathers/stepfathers as I do players on the team.
- To Guess or Not to Guess
- Didn't you count the tricks wrong, Stefan? At the point where W leads to trick 10, according to your description, the defenders have taken the ♣A and ♠KJ. So losing two heart tricks is fatal. Since the heart return was forced, the focus must be on how to avoid ...
- The Time Has Come
- Well played, Stevo!
- Only a Dream
- It's interesting to note also that 6H NS is frigid except on a club lead. On, say, a high spade and a diamond switch, South wins, takes the same first round ♥ finesse, hooks again (managing the spots so the lead remains in S if W does not cover ...
- Crossroads in 3NT
- There's also a possibility that the ♦ are blocked, with LHO having five to the 8 and RHO QJ9 tripleton. This is highly unlikely, since LHO would likely have led the ♦8. Also, I think the location of the ♣Q has no bearing on whether LHO would falsecard. In ...
