South should bid 2S not X given 5 card suit and values. Should North do more, should south do more, or simply compliment EW on their pre-empting bidding?
ReplyDeleteThe 6C was led. How do u play spades? The 6C smelt like a singleton, and therefore east is something like 3=6=3=1. Declare laid down the Ace and wrapped the suit up for no losers.
Yes 2S is ok. You are a point short but you have some extra distribution including a secondary fit for opener.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, its a good principle if you are fearing a ruff to get out as many trumps as you can as soon as possible. So sA immediately is a good normal play on general principles.
yes, also a priori the Ace is best anyhow. But in this situation if u assume the club is a singleton then the known fixed cards are 7 for east and 9 for west, ie east has more vacant spaces than west so more likely to have spades. So playing the Ace is even better. If anyone is interested I use a little freeware software app called SuitPlay (just google it) which calculates the best lines for each combination and can also adjust for vacant spaces
