Winstonm Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 This hand obviously requires an honor lead, so I pick either the diamond Q or the club K and if it doesn't work out I plead insanity, Your Honor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 partner desperately wanted a spade lead to be bidding the suit with so few points. I'm leading a spade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Partner's double says definitely DO NOT lead a S. I lead a D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Partner's double says definitely DO NOT lead a S. I lead a D. If I read the auction correctly, we doubled. Self Lightner. Not saying that makes sense, but the last round of calls was ...P - P - X, not X - P - P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanoi5 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Small heart. Why did I double? Was I the same one bidding 3♥ over 4th's 1♥ opening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 hahaha no ;) why not x, it was late at night, and opps i wouldnt call very competent declarers (although i wouldn't call me a competent defender either) at that hour.

helene_t Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I had this auction once, opener (partner) claimed to be playing WJ2000 but he had 13 points. If this asks for a specific lead it is diamonds. If it just asks for not leading a spade (or is undiscussed) I think I try a heart. Edit: got the double wrong. I just lead a spade.

whereagles Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 partner desperately wanted a spade lead to be bidding the suit with so few points. I'm leading a spade. totally correct. Even if he wants a heart lead, I don't think they're making this on long suits because I have all those locked up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenberg Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 If I give partner the KQ of hearts plus the ace of spades then they are in a 25 point slam, with dummy bidding it on about 13. Even late at night this seems unlikely so I lead a spade. If declarer wins with the ace and leads a small club toward dummy's QTx I order another beer. I will need a full supply as I listen to partner tell me why I should not have doubled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilboyman Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 You double because you can see that 3 of the 4 suits aren't running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
