Phil Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 xx xxx KTxx KT8x 2N - 3♦3♥ - 3♠4♦ - 5♣ - (?) 3♠ is spades. 4♦ is a cue for one or both of the majors5♣ is a cue. You have the opportunity to double. Do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfay Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I wouldn't. This probably will just help them and shouldn't partner basically be leading a club already anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I would double. If I don't, partner will think my RHO has ♣AK, and he may lead a diamond in an attempt to set up a trick there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Absolutely clear pass imo. Partner will lead from the minor where he has an honor, which is exactly what I want. If he has nothing in either minor he will prefer a club over a diamond anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Partner is going to lead his stronger minor if we don't double, which is exactly what we want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Obvious pass IMO. We want partner to lead the minor he holds an honour, if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I was kicking myself for doubling. I agree with the comments about partner will lead his better minor (what else is in play here?) The club Ace led to ruff, and the QC as a loser on loser. But its an interesting hand on a diamond lead: [hv=n=sqjxxxhk9xxxdxxxc&w=stxxhjtdqjxcaxxxx&e=sxxhxxxdktxxcktxx&s=sakxhaqxdaxxcqj9x]399|300|[/hv] I'll copy this to the BI.
