nt|yuval10: perhaps the only possible case in which it won't apply is when South has A@c singelton, and that's what makes W thinks|pg||
nt|yuval10: if South has the A@c, and he wins and play @d, then declarer has to guess, which of course is not optimal|pg||

nt|yuval10: how likely is it that Grue will leave the X with 2?|pg||
nt|ritong: he is checking if trumps 2/2 match auction and play|pg||
nt|lml: that is what he has to decide ..|pg||
nt|fokal: I agree with you yuval|pg||
nt|ritong: imo he will conclude: no|pg||
nt|fluffy: he even knows now that he has 4@s|pg||
nt|lml: still its tough to give up the chance to make a doubled partscore|pg||
nt|fokal: but if @h are 2-2 opps don't make 4 @s|pg||
nt|fokal: so that's not so easy|pg||
nt|lml: I dont think it is easy at all|pg||
nt|vugraphzny: N asks about opening bid meaning, to check for layout in hearts I think|pg||

nt|xenya: settling for 2 off is not a problem here -- just ruff a club, losing a club and a trump -- but if he tries for something better he mat regret it|pg||
nt|ritong: his pard contributed @h Q on the lead, so no trump trick for his side|pg||
