Free Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 The bidding goes:1♠ - 2♦2♥ - 3♣3♠ - 3NT4♥ - 4♠pass 3♣ was 4th suit.RHO showed 6-5♠-♥. You decided to keep quiet with:[hv=d=e&v=n&s=sq9hk875dt65caqj2]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] What do you lead, and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 I would try the ace of clubs. Trump is possible but too dangerous for many reasons (my spade and diamond holdings most notably). No other lead makes any sense to me.

Double ! Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Ace of clubsbidding is interesting. rho couldn't rebid 2NT (forcing) over 2H, but under pressure of the 3S bid muttered 3NT. Sounds something like Txx or xxxx or similar ilk.however, the real question then becomes how much do you trust the opps bidding? Always a dangerous adventure. But, if I have a good P, then I lead the ace of crubs (if this is my choice then it just has to be incorrect) DHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdeegan Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 :D RHO has only two minor suit cards. I got the ace of one of them (I hope). I'm gonna grab it (if its there) before it goes away. IMO all other leads ZERO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Club Ace. Forcing game is most likely to cause a headache even with the favorable 3/2 spade split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I've led the Q♣ in cases like this a few times. Usually declarer ducks and we can efficiently get the tap started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhare Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 What do you lead, and why? Might as well take our only likely minor suit trick -- A♣ -- hopefully ♥ will yield two tricks and declarer will misguess ♠... Atul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 For those who wonder about opponent's skills: you're playing in the highest league of your country, playoffs for 3rd and 4th place :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 ♣A, its hardly wrong to cash your aces against a 6-5 (when it cashes at least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
