benlessard Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Declarer doesnt have a H void therefore he probably have a strong 2 suiter (5161/4171). Even if he had a 1 suiter im afraid he discard a club on the 3rd S. Im cashing my A of clubs but with no great conviction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordontd Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I'd cash the ♣A in the hope that it encourages declarer to play the trumps to break badly the wrong way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaftij Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Declarer may ditch a ♣ on dummy's ♥. Partner did not double 2 ♥ after all. It is not unlikely that declarer has a two-suiter with singleton ♣ and a singleton ♥ King or Ace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhare Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 A♣ -- would a X of 2♥ have been responsive in your methods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 A♣ -- would a X of 2♥ have been responsive in your methods? No, lead directing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Declarer must have 2-suited a monster. Hard not to cash the club here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I think we can assume that declarer's combined assets probably include the AK ♥s, and maybe the J. So a heart lead seems pointless. The spade holding is extraordinarily dangerous to lead from and it isn't easy to construct layouts where it is necessary. So we really revert to the club suit by elimination. And if we are leading clubs, there can be no reason to lead small. So the club A it is. Any benefit in the trump suit is a happy plus....but I would be surprised if declarer is missing any trump or, if he is, that he would get it wrong.

JLOGIC Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Not leading the CA is bizarre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 This was a hand from Dutch Team championship couple days ago from vugraph. The player on lead was Van Prooijen and he led ♥. Then vugraph operator said that (after the hand is played) Verhees asked him why didnt he lead the obvious ♠ lead (due to lack of DBL of 2♥ and 5♣ i assume) I wondered if it was that obvious. Apparently not upto replies in this topic.
