han Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Heart ace, forcing defense. Planning to hold up to the third round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Ace of hearts, the safest lead.It could be right to lead a diamond, playing partner for the queen, before they get diamond pitches on the clubs, but that seems less likely than blowing my natural trick.

pclayton Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I think you can construct situations where any suit can work (seriously). I'll go along with the tap defense like Han. I'm not so much worried about a 'safe' lead here. 2nd choice is a club which may foul communications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again a real hand, real people, and leads in 4 suits (in 2 of suits You can beat!! the contract). Now can You guess wich 2 (that was a big Joker :blink: )? Not constructed situation anyway(and not only I bid 5♥ here I'l make a link later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is void ♥ ?? I think it have to be W- he knows that we don't have a ♥ trick, and lead ♥A bring nothing.If we manage to expel ♥ lead-the prospects are much better. ♣ lead cut the connection for one down. And ♦ lead (and next ♦ again, we duck 2 rounds ♠) cut the connection even for 3 down (sorry i tiped 2down).The optimal contract by PSBRIDGE is +450 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 how does this do on a ♦ lead? and what do you mean by "optimal" contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I think you can construct situations where any suit can work (seriously). I'll go along with the tap defense like Han. I'm not so much worried about a 'safe' lead here. 2nd choice is a club which may foul communications. I just don't see how a tap will ever beat this. Sometimes it will lead to down many when we are beating it anyway, but I think it is highly unlikely that a tap will give us a second trick. Spades are likely 5440, and hearts 6610. Say the first one is ruffed by the short hand, then declarer drives out our trump ace, ruffs the heart continuation, pulls our trump, and cashes his minor winners (assuming he has no loser there).If he has to ruff with the long hand at trick one, he just plays 3 rounds of trumps, now if we take the ace and force he can ruff with this remaining small trump, cross to the other hand, and pull my trump. If hearts are 5431 then probably the short hand has a heart void to justify his 6♠ call. It seems only when hearts are 5431 and the overcaller has a heart void the force will work. I think the way to beat this is just to hope that declarer has to finesse into my ♦K, or that otherwise we have a slow trick in a minor (e.g. declarer misguessing clubs). If you think you have to build a trick you should lead ♦9 IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asc Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 how does this do on a ♦ lead? and what do you mean by "optimal" contract?+450 means +450 for NS =5♥ , 11 tricks :rolleyes: optimal contract= if WE play 5♠ -2 doubled =-500 so it's best to leave NS to play 5♥.and it's better for NS to play 5♥, and not to leave WE to play 4♠ doubled for -200. It's just a machine counting the best play and NOT counting the ''human factor''. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
