Interesting Right + 0 Scenario
Posted: Fri Aug 23, 2019 11:09 am
This one came up last night. Let's see what you guys think about it.
I'm the dealer holding:
Upcard is .
Everybody passes and it comes around to me. Would you pass or pick-up here?
This one is an interesting scenario because you'd have a hand full of aces and the right if you pick up, but such a hand is not really that good if your opponents are loaded up on trump. In particular, if the enemy has left+2, you could be in real trouble here. Odds are your partner is not loaded up on diamonds here or they would have ordered you. At the same time, this hand is a point maker if you can get at least one or two of those aces through.
I forget what this hand was at score wise in the game that I played but let us assume a neutral score like 0-0. I think we can all agree that you have to pick-up if the opponents are at 9.
I'll let you know how this actually played out after I hear some of your responses.
