pclayton Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Is the ace of clubs so stupid that it is not an option? The ♣A isn't stupid. The ♠K is stupid. You can exercice the write-in option for either minor suit ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I also though of club Ace, if clubs is a frozen suit is a suit that opponents seem to never be in need to play, so lets sacrifice something to get partner an entry. you can hit gold from time to time.

dicklont Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Horrible problem.I lead the ♣x, hoping partner can contribute the jack (may I dream of the king?), could work out very bad though. I don't like the passive ♥, opps will make some heart tricks, knock out my diamond ace and I still have not developed anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Heart seems very normal to me. Even if opps have diamonds to run, the suit will probably break 44 for them. If opps don't have a natural suit to develop, this looks like going a couple down with careful defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I lead the ♣x, hoping partner can contribute the jack (may I dream of the king?), could work out very bad though. You are blowing partner's only entry at trick 1. Prepare to be endplayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy_h Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I like a heart because I want to be passive. With lots of strength on my right I don't want to be leading a spade or a diamond. Partner may just have heart intermediates over dummy and so a heart won't blow a trick.A close 2nd choice however is club queen. CK seems very likely to be on my right and possibly KJ(x) on my right. I don't want to lead a low one because that might just block the suit for partner. If I lead the Q and if partner somehow gets in with a heart possibly, he can lead through declarer's J with 98x+. Ace or a low club only allows partner to lead through declarer once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
