mikeh Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 The auction seems weird....responder used stayman, found opener with both majors and then didn't set trump and still looks disturbed about being in 6N??? I assume he has at least one major himself, else why not 4N over 1N? Anyway, no major looks attractive. Clubs seem too dangerous....there are too many holdings where it blows a trick that never comes back. I have a hunch that the winning lead is the diamond K, squashing a stiff Q in dummy. Ordinarily, such a holding would be virtually impossible, but the auction sure sounds as if one or both of the opps got mixed up somewhere. But my 'genius' leads almost always blow up, so I don't do them anymore. I lead the diamond 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 agree the auction is fishy. Anyway, I'm leading a major here. ♠8 seems the least dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 There may be 2 genius leads: ♣K (not to get endplayed later on) or ♦K dropping someone's Q. I think a small ♦ or ♦T (or 9) is probably the safest choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 agree the auction is fishy. Anyway, I'm leading a major here. ♠8 seems the least dangerous. ain't this the contrary? if they have a fit on both majors, spade costs whenever partner has Q or J, but heat costs only when he's got the queen.

Well, I expect pard to have 5 spades, since opps usually play spades when they have an 8 card fit :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
