jukmoi Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 ♠9. With no entries maybe it is right to try hit partners suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 If partner had spades against a strong club at favourable he would bid them. I doubt he has any good five card suit but could still have a good hand if balanced. I would lead a red suit and slightly prefer a heart. It would be interesting to know why North might have chosen 2NT rather than 3NT and what South's alternatives were. But maybe they just have no agreements beyond 2♦.

Free Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I guess LHO bid 2NT to see if responder has a 5 card minor, he might be interested in slam. I'd lead a ♥. I don't think leading ♠ will reach partner's suit since he didn't overcall it once. We might help opps develop their main suit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Pard didn't dbl clubs nor bid spades and, given RHOs lack of a 4 card major, I doubt the diamond lead gets us anywhere. That leaves a heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyman Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 First instinct was high spade. Pard has enough that he's not overcalling 1C (immediate overcalls tend to be weak; with a good hand, you pass and come in later -- edit: at least with my p), and he's certainly not jumping in on a later round once he knows I have 0. I don't know what S's followups to 2N are, or what 2M over 2D would be by N, but it doesn't sound like N has a 5-bagger. This is one of those anything could be right situations; certainly I'm leading a major, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twcho Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 The whole hand is:[hv=pc=n&s=sa63hk92dj6cj9632&w=s92ht754d97532c74&n=skjt8haqj3datcaq8&e=sq754h86dkq84ckt5]399|300[/hv]The only threatening lead is a ♦. After that declarer probably will go wrong after trying to drop ♠Q and then finesse in ♣. Another question. Should east overcall something with his flat hand and passed hand partner (does vulnerability cause any difference in your choice?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
