pbleighton Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 1. I would have led a spade.2. I would not have bid 3NT.3. You got fixed, don't worry about it. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 1. I had led a spade2. I had bid 3 NT (Hamanns rule)3. There are three possible reasons to lead a Heart: -Pd has a haert Honour and the spade queen and can lead through declarer.-Pd has long good hearts-They have just 8 tricks and a spade lead gifts them the 9. In my opinion a too small target, so I had surely lead a spade. But all these thoughts are fruitless. Pd should have bid 4 Heart pass or correct. He has a ten card fit and is green. This will end doubled -1 for a fine score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glen Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 ... opened 2d (multi). west overcalled 3d natural partner passed ... What type of Multi is this where partner does not make a bid over 3♦ with 4-4 in the majors? How did that part of the discussion go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pork rind Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 :P partner said she thought we would beat 3nt . i like the 4h bid myself tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 :P partner said she thought we would beat 3nt . i like the 4h bid myself tom Did you partner notice that even if she had bid just 3♥, it is unlikely that the opponents will find 3NT, or even if they do, on a delayed pass-or-correct auction, now the ♥ lead stands out more? This focus on your lead is the wrong lesson to take from this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphee Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 The remark about leading a H would have annoyed me. Typical from a person who is more intent on passing blame and ignoring the fact they failed to bid over 3D creating this terrible result. I wonder how that's your fault?
