You are south and somehow reach 6S. West leads the heart 7.

You play low from dummy, RHO plays low! and you win the 9. Good duck RHO! Is this really the relaxed club?

 

You cash the spade King and LHO shows out.

 

You now draw trumps, cash three rounds of clubs ending in dummy and play a heart.. to your surprise and agony, RHO discards a diamond!

 

Turns out LHO had led the 7 from KQ87x: fourth best.

 

Other tables got the heart King lead and made it.

 

Bridge is a funny game.

 

(note: hand changed a little but the lead was the same, play was relaxed, so might not be upto your standards and this is just a story)

Reminds me of Zia's story in his book re: the hand at the club defended by Godzilla, the club's worst player, who was on opening lead against 7nt doubled (he had himself doubled of course), holding two (2) Aces.

 

So what did he lead? Why.... fourth best of course! Isn't that the right lead against NT? :)
