the hog Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Imps all greenThe bidding 1H (6C) Do you double or pass? Regardless it is your lead. What card do you lead?[hv=s=saxxxxht9xxdkxxcx]133|100|[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Double, I have no real slam ambition with this hand. If I lead, it will be a ♣ I think, but I'm already aftraid of a double squeeze. Perhaps it's better to lead ♠A... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRG Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Do I know the opponents, or is this some random pair? I'd still be thinking about what to bid, nevermind what to lead! OK. I double, I admit it. I'd also lead the ♥10 (if partner had a 9-card ♥ suit and only bid 1♥, I would expect him to pull the double). Freak hands (assuming the 6♣ bidder is not insane) are terribly difficult (which you already know) -- which is why my gut instinct was to bid 6♥ (then I wouldn't be on lead, which I'm terrible at).

the hog Posted April 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Do I know the opponents, or is this some random pair? Well "Yes" to both questions. I bid 6C. If it helps - many times international representative at the next table made the same bid. You have to make up your own mind whether I am insane. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Do I know the opponents, or is this some random pair? Well "Yes" to both questions. I bid 6C. If it helps - many times international representative at the next table made the same bid. You have to make up your own mind whether I am insane. :rolleyes: First, is pass forcing? I play it is on this auction, but not a lot of people do. So a pass here to invite 6 of something sound at least reasonable, although I guess I really am a tad bid too weak to invite slam. So assume I double or if I pass and partner doubles back Either way we defend. So what do I lead? I lead a trump. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrike Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Double. And then sit there, waiting for partner to lead out of turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hog Posted April 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 S leaders won't be happy. [hv=n=skxxxxhxxdj98ct73&w=saxxxxht9xxdkxxcx&e=sqjxhakjxxxdxxcxx&s=shqdaqtxxcakqjxxx]399|300|[/hv] Very unlucky as you would expect the D hook to be right. Mind you, you need an entry.... Unt devotees should not that if 6D makes, so does 6C. Why give them extra information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 X, I think I have a ♦ trick. So either lead Ace of♠ or !) of ♥, either one has something to be said for. But I don't like leading unbid and unsupported Aces, so I will go with old rule, lead pd's suit if nothing better. Mike :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
