vuroth Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Opponents bid:1♥ 1NT(1)2♦ (2) 3NTap 1 - forcing2 - better minor, 10-13 What should I lead from: ♠QJ3♥T52♦986♣9632 What inferences should I be making from the bidding? EDIT: ACBL tournament, SAYC assumed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 RHO should have some sort of fitting hand, hoping for running diamonds. I'd lead the ♠Q, LHO did not promise anything in spades yet and RHO positively denied 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I would just lead the ♠Q without thinking too hard. The auction seems odd, not sure what to infer from it but I don't think it matters too much. The only factor suggesting a club lead instead of a spade is that partner presumably has values, and could have overcalled 1♠ but didn't. For that reason a club lead is reasonable too - partner couldn't overcall 1♣. But I am still leading from my QJx suit instead of my 9xxx suit.

mtvesuvius Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Q♠, both players are somewhat denying 4♠, so partner is marked with 4 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Our heart holding says hearts might very well set up, so an aggressive lead is in order. Since a club rates to go no-where unless pard has 5 of them (not likely), a spade is what's left. ♠Q thus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich-b Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 An important clue to remember is that partner will not have 5 Spades (and a reasonable hand) , because he would have overcalled, but he could have a 5 card ♣ suit, if his hand was not good enough for a 2 level overcall.

vuroth Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks guys. Both opponents self rated advanced, fwiw. Dummy had 4 hearts, declarer had 4 spades. Q♠ lead led to 3NT=, and a 0 for us. It seemed like the standard lead 4th best club) might have worked, so I wondered if my deviation was sane or insane, especially in the aftermath when I didn't understand the bidding at all.

655321 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I disagree that a club is the 'standard' lead on the hand, although as I mentioned in my previous post it is a reasonable lead. It turns out that the opening lead was not relevant. I looked up the hand: http://online.bridgebase.com/myhands/fetch...ayed=1239062460 Double dummy, 3NT can always be made on any lead, and nobody else in the field bid it.(Declarer can go down if he plays East for a heart honor and the defense switches to spades in time.) Don't know what system the opponents were playing, but it wasn't SAYC. The 1♥ opening was made with a 3442 10 count, and responder bid 1NT on a 4243 14 count. As the play actually went, it was clear for your partner to play a club when he won his heart, either immediately, or after cashing the ♠K. That would have beaten 3NT by at least one trick, possibly two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuroth Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Well whether or not it's standard, 4th from longest is the "beginner" lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
