Guest Jlall Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 You hold Jx Qxxx QTx JT8x. 3S on your right, 4C on your left keycard, 4S on your right 1 keycard and the spade queen, 6S on your left. Imps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double ! Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 seems i always make the one lead that permits the contract to make, so why stop now? Low diamond. DHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Small heart, but not with any conviction as it seems that anything could be right. Partner did not double 4♣ so a red suit lead seems normal. p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxx Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 ♣J. Maybe I do need to lead a red suit, but I can't afford to pick the wrong one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jlall Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Well done to the diamond leaders. Regular poster echognome found this at the table. The opponents have everything but they're off the AK of diamonds. I was the person who bid 4C then 6S with xx diamonds, I was playing a little poker. Won't try that again :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I love these spy-versus-spy hands. One could argue that maybe a blast to 6♠ would have worked here. Then, the opponents might ask what RKCB bid you use. Answering 4♣ suggests a club lead instead. But, then one might realize that 6♠ was bid to block an inference to lead a diamond instead. Maybe 4NT would have worked best of all as RKCB? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I felt it was a red suit lead. (Hoping partner had the K of the suit I guessed and another trick.) I generally make attacking leads against small slams. As for my actual choice of diamond, it was just a lucky guess between the two. I don't think bidding slam immediately would have changed my choice in any way. It is still a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Good job gnome. That'll teach these young poker players who to mess with :P Seriously, I like a ♦, because its a shorter stronger holding. I also think LHO has a club suit, and we might need to take out an early entry. The 10 is probably the correct technical lead, in case dummy has AJx and declarer 9xx or 9x, but that lead won't get read correctly once in a million years.

jchiu Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Nice lead dude. Phil beat me to the punch that in retrospect I think the ♦10 is most useful for its added psychological or deceptive value. I can hardly think of a case where it is sure to deceive me from rising when necessary and returning a diamond from holdings like ♦ K9x(+).
