gnasher Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Low club. If declarer has Jx opposite HHxx(x) he will put the jack up anyway, so it's reasonably safe as well as offering the prospect of setting up some winners. I don't understand ♥J, which just looks like an attempt to let it through. I can't see anything about the auction or our hand that suggests the need for such aggression. In any case, it seems unlikely that partner will have both good enough hearts to set them up and enough entries to cash them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSGibson Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 ♣T. Though in a junior tournamnent, it might be right to go for the ♦A, as that might be the choice of the majority. My goal in a situation where I don't have an obviously correct lead is to chose the one that rates to have the greatest amount of field protection, and that rates to be the top of a sequence in my longest suit in most cases. Maybe that's wrong for this type of tournament, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 My housemate was watching me play the tournament (as in, over my shoulder) and insisted I lead the JH. This found pard with KQTxx ;) Think any lead is good enough, as it happens, but this one looked most impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 You're cheating! But who hasn't played with someone over their shoulders anyway, so no offense intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
