Two lead problems

[mikegill]

1)

 

[hv=d=e&v=n&s=sxhk98dtxxxcakjxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP

1♦ 2♣ X P

2♦ P 3♠ P

3N All pass[/hv]

 

2)

 

[hv=d=e&v=n&s=sxhk98dtxxxcakjxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP

1♦ 2♣ X P

2♦ P 3♠ P

3N All pass[/hv]

 

Opponents are bad flight X players if that matters to you, and they are not playing flannery.

Edit: Thinking more about #1

 

2) I hate these sort of auctions. ♠J because we have the majority, probably, and it's the closest thing I have to a robot lead.

1♦ 2♣ X P

2♦ P 3♠ P

3N All pass[/hv]

IMO ♣K = 10, ♠x = 7, ♥K = 6, ♣x = 5, ♥8 = 4

Perhaps declarer doesn't not have a club stop.

Garozzo says make attacking leads.

I bet the worst two leads are ♣J and ♣K

[pclayton]

1. ♣A - attitude. We might need 5 before they grab 6♦'s, the club which some are giving them and 2 major suit cards.

 

2. ♠8. I'm going for style points here. Its inconceivable declarer ducks with AQ9x on the board or AQxx opp 9x in hand. Against the 1st combo, I've saved a trick. Its possible I've given myself the spade guard with this lead when pard plays the Q, but I can't resist it.

these are really tough problems; after some thought i'd lead spade on first and heart on 2nd although i'm not in love with any of these leads
