Deanrover Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Just played this one out. What is your lead and why? Hint: if you think about the other three hands there is a lead that can guarantee defeat of the contract. Dealer: North Vul: All Scoring: IMP ♠ 95 ♥ A8 ♦ J98 ♣ J76432 West North East South - Pass 1NT Pass 2♦ Pass 2♥ Pass 3♣ Pass 4♥ Pass 4NT Pass 5♣ Pass 6♥ Pass Pass Pass No experts please!

Walddk Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hidden txt Club lead will doom the contract because the auction has revealed that partner has a singleton (or void). 4 to my left, and at least 2 to my right. If 4-2, I will regain the lead shortly with ♥A and give partner a club ruff for down 1. Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I absolutely agree it's the right lead, but it doesn't guarantee beating the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanrover Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I absolutely agree it's the right lead, but it doesn't guarantee beating the contract. Why so? I can only think of Opponent's hearts could just be 5-5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
