Scoring is matchpoints.



Partner leads the ♦7, plan the defense.

Okay, declarer wins the ♣A and runs the ♠Q to you, now what?

Am I the only person in the field to concede 11 tricks in 4S or something?

You are asking if we should risk playing under ♦ K in order to get our ruff or not at mp. It is % play to go for it and you should underplay your K now, this was the plan when we played ♣ at trick 2, isn't it ?

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

Well it is close IMO, I didn't mention it but declarer played a spot at trick 1, so partner has either ♦Qxx or ♦Jxx, based on the bidding we have to weigh how much the ♦Q would help partner raise versus how much the ♦Q would help declarer have a 2♠ bid, I think you are right that partner is more likely to have the ♦Q but it is not so far from 50%.

But partner knows which diamond honor he holds, and he had a chance to give us some kind of signal at trick 2, are you happy saying it is just a guess?

Here are my thoughts, eager to hear opinions from A/E...
