Fluffy Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Is it any different if a small spade is instead a small heart? No, no difference, whatever I lead :lol:. I think I'd try a trump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I will try my ace... Oops I let another grand through... sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 the ace is fine. Once we get that suit out of the way, I can just give partner count in the rounded suits, so she knows which quack will take trick thirteen. Nice for partner not to have to worry about three suits.

Is it any different if a small spade is instead a small heart?What was the lead and the result? What were the rest of the hands? If I want my partner to speak to me after the hand, I lead the A♠.

neilkaz Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Righty is vaguely sane.Trump I agree with the number's man since I think this is least likely to blow a trick. I cannot imagine anyone opening 7 in 4th seat when they have a quick loser. Many decent pairs can open 2♣ and aquire the relevant info they need for the grand along the way. But if RHO is top fishing and hoping to be X'd so he could xx if cold, that hasn't happened or if he was hoping for a silly lead, I won't help him by leading my ace for him to ruff. In defence of those who lead the ace..it probably doesn't matter since it really is unlikely that RHO is planning on pitches on dummy's ♠ after he ruffs it. .. neilkaz ..

gnasher Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I'd lead a trump because it's the only lead that's likely to do us any good. People will open at the seven level with a side-suit that's not quite solid, so a trump may well ensure a slow winner for partner. Nobody opens at the seven level with a small singleton somewhere, because even if the ace isn't cashed they have no reason to think the loser might go anywhere.

kayin801 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Declarer's situation looked like this:[hv=n=sqxxxhxxd98cjxxxx&s=shakjxxdakqj10xcak]133|200|[/hv] so the contract was cold on any lead or reasonable line, even on a trump lead, but I was just curious of the general idea of "what to lead" on an auction like this. The traveler for this was hilarious btw. Two other pairs in 7D, both going DOWN 1, a handful of 6D make 6 or 7, a 5D and a 3NT making, and a 4S (miscommunication) N/S down 1 (well played!)

billw55 Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 so the contract was cold on any lead or reasonable line, even on a trump lead, Hearts 3-3 then I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 so the contract was cold on any lead or reasonable line, even on a trump lead, Hearts 3-3 then I guess? Well, that would be my guess, since OP gave you 3 small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
