JLOGIC Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 King of hearts. Maybe I'm not thinking it through enough but partner having heart support makes me think this is pretty safe, and might set up tricks for our side. We might want to tap them in hearts since trumps don't break, and even a club is more dangerous imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwar0123 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Other then the very safe k♥ the only thing I can think of is east is two suited in hearts and spades and you need to lead a trump to shorten the cross ruff. Hoping east is something like 5521 and was passing hoping to defend a heart contract but decided 2 was to cheap(even w/r) when a spade game was on the line.

Fluffy Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 only think of alternatives because posted as a problem. I think dwar is right and trump is the best alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have stellar defense over the double. This might include the ♥A, but I'm more inclined to place him with two spade cards and a club card. I led a trump and 300 got away - he had KQx Axx xxxx xxx. Dummy had J9xx JT9 KQx AKQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmnka447 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 ♥ K would be my almost automatic lead. Other than the negative double there's no indication in the auction that a crossruff exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Heart King looks good, but I don't find any negative doubles in the auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
