Finch Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 A heart, with no confidence at all.(do I really have three 852s?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Yes, it's triple-poker.. lol. Incidently, I'd lead a spade. Maybe the queen. All I need for the lead to be good is pard to have an honor (J or K), and that doesn't seem soooo difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvan14 Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 No, the triple 852 is just copying. Anyway, the pips are not really significant (having 743 instead of 852 does not change anything) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke warm Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 the low club seemed obvious, but only marlowe mentioned it.. that's what i'd lead, i can't see what's wrong with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr1303 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I lead the 4th highest of my longest and strongest.... in other words the 2 of clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I lead the 4th highest of my longest and strongest.... in other words the 2 of clubs As I started writing " longest and strongest",I discovered in time, spade is arguably stronger,so I ommited the word "strongest" ....

Finch Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 What's wrong with the club is that there's a fair chance it's RHO's longest suit.But anything could be right (although I wouldn't lead a diamond). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 ♣ without a doubt. If I ahve to elad an opponent's suit I prefer to lead the one I have 4 cards in. There isn't even a guarantee anyone else has 4 ♣s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I lead a club too. Pard probably has a 10 count (give or take) and couldn't find a call over 1♦. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he has 5 so-so clubs. 2nd choice is the A♠, which shouldn't give up anything material (except a tempo) and lets us continue intelligently.

joker_gib Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 What's wrong with the club is that there's a fair chance it's RHO's longest suit. Of course ! That's why I'm asking why it is so obvious :P I also agree with you that anything can be right :) Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_U_Card Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 K852....as much as i would rather have KJ97(2), I will lead this and hope for 2 ♣ tricks during the play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike777 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Low club for me, no second choice. Perhaps a more interesting question is one of lead philosophy againt 1nt contracts. Attack or passive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcLight Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 LHO is probably something like 4=2=5=2RHO is something like 3=4=3=3 Their heart finesses will work.Pard has some HCP as well. I'd lead a low club as that is probably their weakest suit. RHO could have 5 hearts.LHO may have only 4 diamonds, and 3 Clubs. I would not lead a spade because we need entries to establish clubs. >Perhaps a more interesting question is one of lead philosophy againt 1nt contracts.Attack or passive? If they have diamond length, passive may give them time to set them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Against NT, lead from a broken suit with length if their best holding in the suit is to your right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Much depends on their methods. If 1♠ would be bid on 4=3=4=2 or 4=2=4=3, then the 1N may be on 3=4=3=3 or 3=5=2=3. And declarer may have zilch in ♣. If 1♠ promised shape, then 1N is far more likely to contain a more significant ♣ holding. In the former case, I have not heard enough to lead anything but a ♣. In the latter case, there is a strong(er) case for a non-♣ lead. If I were going to lead a non-club, I'd choose the ♠A, hoping that dummy does not hold the KJxx.

Kalvan14 Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 1♠ does not promise shape. Oppos are bidding their suit up the line.OTOH, my guess was that oppos do not have a lot of fit.IMHO, it would be best to lead through LHO strength.And ♠A allows you to have a look at dummy.[hv=d=w&v=n&n=sj976hakjdt9xxcxx&w=sk842hq43dak43cq9&e=s53ht976dqjcajtxx&s=saqth852d852ck852]399|300|Scoring: MP(1D)-P-(1H)-P-(1S)-(1N)-all P[/hv] It may be just a lucky guess. IMO, the lead against a sequence 1x-1y-1z is a bit different than what you might choose after 1x-1N (not to mention 1N-all P). Clubs are not a very attractive suit, and might as well be the main strength of E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
