paulhar Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Low spade. Reason? We need one trick besides the heart Ace. If I lead a club and hit partner, I can't get to him. His club trick probably can't go away anyway. Declarer sounds prepared for diamonds. It is theoretically possible for partner to be ruffing a dimaond when I get in with the ace of hearts, in that case, I probably would get my diamond trick anyway by waiting. (Hopefully I won't get endplayed with the heart Ace! Declarer can hardly guess my shape, I'll probably be able to ruff a club winner at some point and get out a spade safely. A spade could go on a club if we don't get it in time. I lead low since if declarer has an option, I want him to choose the one that plays me for a spade honor. If partner has a finessable honor, I'm picking it off with the lead anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 K of ♦, getting ready to give pd a ruff or uppercut in ♦. My pd's support with 2 if I bid 4♦, and just in case he/ she didn't I lead the king to protect against stiff Queen.It just looks good.

luke warm Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 ♦ might work, mike, since you have a trump entry and can lead another... but i can't shake the feeling that declarer has the stiff ace, maybe A,Q i think paul's right, my ♠8 would be wrong... the 4 would be better, for the reasons he stated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
