MarkDean Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I would lead the diamond ace, perhaps it will win and I will have only a partial guess next trick. I am notoriously bad at leads though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpace Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I feel like leading the ♥J. No particular reason, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 ♥ J I feel like I need an active lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Club. Not a fan of Jx leads as it could blow a trick or two. Seems more likely that partner would have a single heart honour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Heart. Although a club could easily be right. With no clear choice I tend to make the most attacking lead although a little less so at IMPs. If it is a heart ruff we need then we probably only have one chance at it. I am much happier with this lead at IMPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wclass___ Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 ♦A Partner can't have much after such auction at MPS.IMO ♦A is agressive and safe. It could blow away trick(s) but i feel like i should cash our tricks until they have started to cash theirs...And i also think there woun't be much to do for declarer and defenders, so this should be the right moment to go for a good score.

gnasher Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Why does this auction imply that partner doesn't have much? RHO has long spades, so he needs less in high cards than in other game auctions. Partner might have as much as an 8-count. ♦A might be necessary if declarer has several quick discards on hearts or clubs. That's possible, but it seems rather more likely that he'll have to knock something out first, in which case we can hope to get two diamond tricks as long as we haven't wasted the ace. I don't understand a heart lead at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Club. Aren't we trying to not blow any tricks here? As gnasher said declarer can be light, so I see no reason to be too aggressive. I think a heart is a reflex action that is wrong, into the stronger hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Don't understand why I should lead the ♦A, although it could be the winning lead. My take on this is that it's much more the case that I give away a trick or a tempo. I like doubleton leads, with the right hand. But strongly dislike to lead from Jx (and Jxx/Jxxx), which far too often gives away a trick. So, by elimination, I'll lead a club. (A trump looks insane.)
