uday Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 RHO deals and passes. You pass. LHO opens 1S, and raises RHO's 1N to 3N You are at unfavourable vul. You hold 986452Q65QT95 What do you lead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Low club. Dummy is a big favorite to hold a doubleton club, and the club 10 wastes a trick when dummy has AJ or Jx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Club ten so I don't block the suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 No need to be fancy. Especially if you are also playing with a bot, we all know that twist... I'll lead the 10♣, which doesn't block the suit, is a relatively standard lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'd go with club 10, but that's not what the bot did of course lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 My partner rates to have more HCPS then I have. He passed, so his suit is more often diamonds then hearts. (Most people are more aggressiv with majors.)I try a low diamond. Of course, declarers suit can be diamond as well. :rolleyes: But I think I need to develop tricks very quick, when we have no running suit, we need to develop 4 tricks very quick.

uday Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 In "real life" GIB led a heart, along with 15% of us. Declarer ( another GIB ) took a chance on an overtrick ( losing only if the lead was from X or XX of hearts ) and went down :) Full hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_KARLUK Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 North plays 3NT on a lead of low heart Hmm, say S started with 2C. 4S obv good to buy. Meanwhile do I miscount? 5S+1H+2D+1C=9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile do I miscount? 5S+1H+2D+1C=9? No, you didn't miscount... GIB just wanted an overtrick... Fred, the "Human" bug needs to be fixed, this bug includes: 1. Making Mistakes2. Being Too Agressive3. Getting Greedy at IMPs4. Not Trusting Partner I would love it if you could immunize the Robots from this miserable disease :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmunte1 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 You can add on this board: - opening 2NT- showing support over 1♠- correcting 3NT to 4♠ with ruffing potential and fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hi, Clubs, the 9 or ten. (I voted for low club, but I agree, this is garbage). The alternative would be hearts, with the intention to hit partners suit. Having said that: It is not clear, if you have to go agressive, the opponents will have reached a 3NT contract with at most 27-28 HCP, 25-26are more likely, so there may be a case for going passive,because 25HCP will give you only a 40-50% chance of making,and the most passive lead is a spade. I assume 1NT was non forcing. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see you mentioning it was IMPs and the Hand Viewer doesn't show it either. At MP the play seems quite sensible. As others playing in 4♠ will be making at least ten tricks, making 3nt on the nose will be worth few Matchpoints if any. The best chance for ten tricks is either a club at T2 or a heart and it figured the opening leader was more likely to have led from the Ace of hearts.
