Flame Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Can you give example of suit combinations that taking the opening lead (as opposite to ducking) might cause block in the opponents suit. Example [hv=n=s10xx&w=s&e=s&s=sax]399|300|[/hv]west leads the Q.If west has QJXXXX we will cause a block by taking the first trick.

Guest Jlall Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 The classic one is Ax in dummy, Txxx in your hand. Win the ace, if RHO has Hx you block the suit. This also applies for Ax opp 9xxx as if RHO has HH doubleton, the suit blocks. HH doubleton is likely if the suit is 5-2 since LHO would lead an honor with QJTxx or KQJxx, and might with KQTxx or KJTxx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I saw this one recently: 8xxx Ax LHO leads the king (asking udca count), RHO follows with the 9. You can play RHO for J9 or 109. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
