jdonn Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'll lead heart queen, since I don't want ruffs myself, and I don't want declarer getting ruffs in either his hand or dummy with small trumps. Plus it's the safest lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Agree with jd, except that I'm gonna lead a LOW heart, just in case pard has the singleton K or T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 The ♥ Queen. I want to turn this hand into notrump ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Agree with jd, except that I'm gonna lead a LOW heart, just in case pard has the singleton K or T. Whoops I read this as J♦ then got confused when i looked at the hand. A trump looks reasonable. I hope we can get enough here? There are some players I would be happy to double and others I wouldn't - even at these colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I actually like the idea of a low heart as well in case partner has the stiff A, K, or 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, if we find pard with some min 15-17 balanced hand, we might not even make 3NT, so dbl seems ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I had ignored that aspect, but I doubt I would have passed over the overcall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 BLOOD!!!!, lead a hart, I have no guts for a low one. If partner can have stiff honnor, he can also have stiff small card more likelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfay Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I don't want to ruff anything, I want to draw trumps. If we need to hook dummy for some stuff we still have our 3rd high trump and the ♠A as entries. ♥Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
