Codo Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 When declarer is sane he has a spade control. But maybe just one, so I lead a spade.Second choice is a heart to cut down ruffes, but I guess, they won't play a cross ruuf, but will discard on the long clubs, so a spade is clear cut.

whereagles Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Seems like a canonical spade to me. Echoes of double fit + shortness in side suit ---> make aggressive lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Funny, in RGB no one leads a ♠ (so far). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 If opps are missing the ♦A, we might need to cash a diamond trick before it disappears (on clubs). And hope there's another defensive trick somewhere. If opps have the ♦A, we need to establish a trick before getting on lead later. The obvious place to set up a trick is spades. To me, the odds favour leading spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
