TimG Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 If I lead a heart spot, partner might reasonably expect me to have Hxx (did I have a way to make a constructive raise to the 3-level?) though that probably won't prevent me from leading a heart. Maybe the king so that partner can let me win the trick when a diamond through is right and can overtake when a club through from his side is right.

Hanoi5 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 ♥K, maybe I'll be able to keep the lead in case some special play is required or called for by having a look at dummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'm leading a heart as well. Usually it won't matter much but I can see declarer winning my (diamond) lead, pulling two rounds of trumps and pitching his stiff heart on the third round of diamonds. (AJ10xx in dummy, declarer with Kx?). I don't think it matters much which heart I lead. The king reduces the chance of partner giving a ruff and a sluff at trick 2. Nice 2D bid Phil, stick it up to them! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I led the ♥K (chuckle) You won't believe this layout: [hv=d=n&v=e&n=sakxxhqxdkjxxxcxx&w=sqjxhkjxxxdxxcaxx&e=shtxxxxdatxxxckxx&s=stxxxxxhadqcqjtxx]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] This was the 1st board of the Saturday Compact semi-final.

jdonn Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 On the auction (1♣) DBL (1♠) P (3NT) all pass, Marshall once led the queen of spades from Qxx, catching AK doubleton in declarer's hand and JTxxx with an outside ace in dummy.

Phil Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Apparently I am the only one but I still dislike 2D a lot. Then what do you like? 4♥ is crazy. We don't have a 4 card limit raise available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
