keylime Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I feel if I'm leading my club that I'm making a mistake, but that's my lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'm leading my stiff. It seems the simplest way to take four tricks is to find pard with an entry, and either take 2 hearts (yes the hand is probably always getting beat in this case) another trick and a ruff, or 2 tricks in pard's hand and two ruffs. A tap could be right, but it seems to me that its likely they are on a 6-3 or a 5-4 fit. Furthermore, leading the A♥ could very well blow a trick. A low heart could be right as well, but thats pretty deep. What about a diamond? This could also be right, but pard needs a very specific diamond holding for me to have to lead it on the go.

Finch Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Any suit could be right, goodness knows.NO-one has mentioned a trump yet, but we have a surprisingn umber of high cards for the auction and a trump could easily be the winning lead. I'm nearly persuading myself of this, though I doubt I'd manage it at the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jlall Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 No one loves leading a stiff more than me, and I see no reason not to on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 The stiff for me, I remember too many hands where something persuaded me from leading my stiff and the stiff would have been the only lead to set the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeh Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I agree with the stiff...anyone consider bidding 5♥? I doubt that I would (too much risk of a phantom) but it isn't hard to construct a hand on which 5♥ makes... void KQxx AQJxx xxxx might even make a slam :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
