TheoKole Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 6 ♦ if playing 4th best leads, 2 ♦ if I am playing 3/5 leads. nothing in the bidding indicates that a ♠ or ♥ lead would be better, so Ill try my longest and strongest suit. Good luck, Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich-b Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 small ♦, because leading from 5 card suit gives me best chance to establish enough tricks to beat the contract.It is true that sometimes this lead will give declarer his 7th trick, but much more often leading passively will just lose a tempo.

Antrax Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Thanks. I led a diamond, but on this deal a spade was much better. I was wondering if there's any reason to prefer the lead of the unbid major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
