Hanoi5 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 The most dangerous: a heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I wanna lead a notrump. Declarer is surely void and so I should take at least the first trick, given that notrumps are trumps. ^^ But since this pack doesn't seem to contain any notrumps, I'll go with a heart. Dummy surely has ♥AK or somesuch and declarer won't be messing around on the first trick. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtvesuvius Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 This seems like a case where we need to set up our second trick before dummy's hearts are set up. Why anyone would want to lead a heart is truly beyond me... It gains nothing, and will cost a trick plenty of times... Especially if your random BBO opponents bid the same way as my usual ones. I would lead a low club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonottawa Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Wow, the votes started as I expected and then the ♣ took over. ♣ was the winner. [hv=http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?myhand=M-35754525-1307759450]400|300[/hv] Must I enter the hand manually or is there a way to link myhands somehow that sizes it properly?

gordontd Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 ♣ was the winner. ♣ is the fast winner. They're not exactly cold on other leads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonottawa Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 ♣ is the fast winner. They're not exactly cold on other leads. Sho nuff. Sorry, my ulterior motive in posting this thread was to confirm my belief that virtually nobody would lead a ♣ with this holding on this auction. I was wrong so I was just shutting her down by posting the actual hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shintaro Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 :blink: wow aint that clever I lead a ♣ from my holding and find partner with the Ace especially when I am not sure what Ace (If any) he could hold So leading Blindly into a possible AQ ♣ is correct ;) ♦ for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Well.. holding Jxxx in dummy's suit, I wouldn't have led a club. Would have opted for a diamond instead. Club is more attractive with Jxx of hearts, in which case the risk of running hearts is greater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
