Interesting Play Hands / Re: You say “bad split”, I say “endplay”

Yes, I agree that I'm making those assumptions, for the reasons I gave in my earlier post. I just don't buy the idea of West penalty doubling under your club bid with less than 5 clubs, even if he has all the missing strength except for !HQ. I agree my logic for playing for 4=1=3=5 rather than 4=0=4=5 might be a little less certain.
Anyway, I certainly wouldn't be capable of working out the probabilities at the table. It gives me headaches just trying to think through them now! One thing is certain, though, and that's if the hearts are split 5-1, the chances of a stiff Q or 10 in the West hand are not negligible.
