G_R__E_G Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being "necessary" and 10 being "totally insane" I'd give a trump lead about a 9.4. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuroth Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I guess we expect dummy to have 2♥ and 3♦. I don't really see our winners being ruffed in dummy, so no, it doesn't look necessary to my n00bish eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantumcat Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Dummy has 1 heart and 3 diamonds and hearts split 3-4 and you have the heart ace, so seems good. If you don't lead a diamond they can ruff 2 of them and just lose 2 hearts (assuming you will lead a trump when in with a heart) and still lose any trump tricks you are worried about. anyway p could have the jack or the q or something in trumps. If you don't lead a trump when in with heart youll make sure of your trump trick but he will set his hearts up and win them all but 1. this seemslogical doesn't it? We know dummy has 1 or no hearts or else the polite bid after 2D is 2H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
