rogerclee Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Pretty obv diamond imo. 1) Partner has an ace.2) So a club is out.3) Partner is not that likely to have the SA and it is unlikely to go away anyway since our red suits are good.4) The opps are more likely to be off AQ in a suit than AK in a suit.

Isn't he saying lead a ♦ after X? That would be my choice. Club without double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Partner is asking me not to lead clubs or hearts, and believes he has a good chance of a set with another lead. I see no reason not to follow his advice. If a spade sets it, it is highly likely to be down anyway. (I don't think partner would double with the A/K♠ anyway.) He could be void of course, but that would be rather strange. So a diamond it is. Edit: Without the double; a heart. LHO has a degree of support, and hopes his good spade suit will come in. Have to hope partner has the ♥A. (♦A is out, as he would have doubled.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
