temp3600 Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 I voted for a club. But after further analyzing the hand, it seems an immediate heart lead from dummy is better. A good guess in heart allows South to discard two small clubs from dummy and cross-ruff for 10 tricks.Also, it seems a bit strange that opponents did not lead trumps. There is a good chance that trumps are not 3-2. In that case, the early heart lead is the only line that gives a chance of making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalvan14 Posted November 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 yes, that's quite obvious.Otoh, the lead is a bit funny: I would have better expected hearts, the unbidden suit, of trumps.At the table, I wondered if it were the case of looking for a crossruff.So I played hearts to the Q (!), and obviously the K was with LHO.Back comes the ♦Q, and you ruff in hand. The exploration of alternative avenues was not really successful. What do you play now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
