Devil's Coup-like

 


There is no way for South to show his singleton ♠ in NS's system. Hence, South can only make a mild slam try by cue-biding once and stop in 4♥. Then, North is glad to accept the partner’s slam try of course with maximum and all useful high cards. Well, he does not know ♠K is far less useful than ♦Q or ♣Q or even ♣J. 😓

Anyway, NS reached the poor 6♥ with all AKs but it is likely to be with only about 23%, ♥Q onside & ♥3-2 & ♣3-2.

Is there any better line? 🧐

類魔鬼譜


南家對著 17-18 平均牌四張配合,可惜無法叫出短黑桃,只能以兩手加總 28-29 的整體力量做 mild ST,4♣ 表示些微的滿貫興趣後停在 4♥ 不主動越過。


北家拿著高限滿手尖張,毫無廢點──他這麼認為,但總是事與願違──理所當然地響應同伴的滿貫意願,問A後叫到差強人意的 6♥,♠K 若換成 ♥Q/♦Q/♣Q+♣J 反而是個接近鐵打的好合約。


乍看之下,梅花有個幾乎跑不掉的失蹬,6♥ 是個需要 ♥Q on + ♥3-2 + ♣3-2,23% 上下...差強人意還真是抬舉了。


但叫都叫了,硬著頭皮也是得打,拔 ♣AK 時兩個防家都跟了總算過了第一關,先交互王吃一番看看情況總是沒什麼壞處,手順如下:♠A, ♦A, ♦K, ♦ ruff, ♠K, ♠ ruff, ♣K, ♣A,來到抉擇的十字路口:





對手打大歡迎,張數正。西家黑桃跟了 ♠Q-2-3、♦3-9-J、♣2-J,東家黑桃跟了 ♠6-5-9、♦4-5-6、♣6-T。要打 ♥Q on 且 ♥3-2 或許為時未晚,有什麼把握毅然決然地打出 ♦T 嗎?
