luke warm Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 yeah, i like the club too... would the 10 be too much of a stretch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Well, the club ace is infact the best matchpoint lead:[hv=d=s&v=b&n=saxxhaqxdajt8ckxx&w=skxhkxxxdk9xxcatx&e=sqhtxxdxxxcqxxxxx&s=sjt9xxxxhj9xdqxcj]399|300|Scoring: MPSouth Northpass (1♦) dbl1♠ 3NT4♠[/hv]Club ace is the only lead that doesn't blow a trick. Well.. small spade works also, but that's a bit hard. Yes, North overbid grossly. But some people do that :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I lead a heart. I do this after reading the other posts and seeing that it is a disaster lead. It is also the lead most likely to result in a plus score. The fact that the CA lead was a success on this hand doesn't change my opinion that it is not the right lead in the long run.

toothbrush Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I don't understand why some players have the idea that you may never lead from under a K :blink: In this case there aren't big chances to beat the contract. So let's try to find a method to find extra tricks! Best chance is that partner has a Q in ♦ or ♥. Important to keep ♣A as an entry to cash the developed trick. Choosing between ♦ and ♥ is difficult. I prefer ♦ because it is known that LHO has something in it (3NT). May be he has AQT and has to decide how to finesse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Lol, isn't 3 Kings and an Ace a good situation? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothbrush Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 When LHO bids 3NT on his own, I don't think you will be able to make 3 kings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
