| Nov 3, 2020 at 15:39 | comment | added | Joe | @ruds Probably; I was just making a very rough estimate (the kind most players would be able to make at the table). | |
| Nov 3, 2020 at 15:38 | comment | added | ruds | I think you have overestimated the grand considerably. bridgehands.com/S/Suit_Combination_3.htm has spades at 46% and bridgehands.com/S/Suit_Combination_1.htm has hearts at 61% taken independently. You have small additional chances from a club-heart squeeze when a stiff club honor is paired with shorter hearts (along with Hxx, Hx, or H in spades, so at least seven diamonds). | |
| Nov 3, 2020 at 12:46 | comment | added | Forget I was ever here | A Club lead is dangerous for the Defense as it risks transferring the Club control and setting up the Heart-Club simple squeeze for Declarer. That's a bad idea particularly when Defenders suspect the slam is a stretch. There's few things worse than for opponents to stretch to an unmakeable slam - and then you find the only lead to let it make. | |
