| b***y 发帖数: 2804 | 4 That's your only hope anyway. If LHO has 5th club, you go down no matter
what. If LHO has 0-3-6-4 shape, there is no squeeze (after cashing clubs,
LHO exit with a heart). So you have to play LHO for 0-4-5-4.

| j*******e 发帖数: 2168 | 5 If 0364, we can cash 3 hearts before exiting with C.
After winning D return, we play the last heart to throw RHO in.
Maybe that was Garazzo's play?

| p***r 发帖数: 20570 | 7 this line fails if west wins the first C and return DJ.

cleared.

| b***y 发帖数: 2804 | 9 But I have D9. So I win DQ, play 3rd club, don't I still make? 2S, 3H, 3D,
1C, 9 tricks.
West needs to exit with a small D, not DJ, then beat it.

| p***r 发帖数: 20570 | 10 So that means this line works when east holds stiff DJ/T.

| j*******e 发帖数: 2168 | 11 You are right, D holding is important.
Suppose W plays a small D, we can still win DQ, hoping to drop E's singleton
T. After 3rd C, E has no C left so we can use SJ to throw him in (we have
S9). If on the other hand W cashes 4th C before returning D, we know we are
home if we saw E's T dropped earlier:)

| b***y 发帖数: 2804 | 12 S9 is not important. If DQ drops E's singleton T or J,you are home even
without S9. Whether West cashes 4th C or not, he only has diamonds left to
play, and your D9 will score.
So, after SA wins at trick 2, you have choice of lines:
1) Play west for 0-4-5-4 shape. You will always make by squeezing west (
assuming west has CAQJ and DK, which is virtually certainty).
2) Play west for 0-3-6-4 shape, PLUS east to hold stiff DJ or D10. You cash
3 hearts first then throw in West with a club.
I would say that (1) is slightly more likely than (2).

| j*******e 发帖数: 2168 | 13 I agree S9 is not important. What I meant is, you still have some small
chance even if DQ does not drop T/J, i.e. W makes a mistake by returning D
instead of cashing 4th C (which is unlikely but you never know) and then S9
comes into play.
cash
