erki_ Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 [hv=d=w&v=n&n=sxxhkjxxxdjxcjxxx&w=saxhq8xdakxcakqxx&e=skqjxhaxxdqtxxcxx&s=sxxxxxht9dxxxxcxx]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] Say you play 3rd/5th leads (thus high from doubleton) and lead heart ten against 7♦. Declarer plays on a club-heart squeeze and fails, because you hold heart 9, but if you had Tx, you'd also lead ten and then the squeeze would work. So is it profitable to lead low from doubleton (even Jx and higher) against slams or is it just about this one deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Hi, I wonder, why you lead heart at all, against 6 NT?Trying to hit partners suit? The auction is missing, but assumingno suit was mentioned, I would simplylead a spade. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erki_ Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Sorry, forgot to mention, partner had bid hearts after west opened with strong 1♣And the contract is not 6NT but 7♦ by East as I already mentioned in 1st post.

Halo Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 I think there is a good case for adapting carding methods to conserve high cards against slam - and of course to give count where you don't usually. In your example North also needs better club spots than West, to deal with being thrown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
