In a friendly imp match on bridgebase, I had an interesting decision:White/red, I had AKT9xxx Txx xx x.I was second seat, and it went:
1C-3S-X-P:
3NT-P-P-4D;
P-P-4H-P;
P-?
Any thoughts?

Hey Jon,
It is good to see you blogging some more on bridge. You once won 4 sectional swisses in a row. When I asked for a key to your success you said something to the effect that you sacrifice a lot less than your opps. Since then I cut back on sacrificing and would not do so here. So the only reason for my opinion here is your input. Not that I ever won anything in a row.
Jeff Rubens would say any clown can plan the defense with dummy seen. On the basis of information given, I will trick 1 with spade King and shift to diamonds.
In "real life" I'm an associate professor in economics at the Kellogg school (Northwestern), specializing in game theory. In my other life, I spend way too much time with bridge hands swirling in my brain -- maybe this outlet will help cure my condition! I hope you enjoy.
