luke warm Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 i would take the double as 'don't lead a club'... i'd lead the K of hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytoox Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Declarer is suspicous here. He bid 5H, denying D control, then after pd's 5S, he still bid slam. I think he is probably making a tactical bid here. H is his open suit, and he has s and d two suiter. So I agree with Jimmy that I will lead H.

pclayton Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 5♥ is fishy. I've seen a lot of phony game tries, but not a lot of phony slam tries. :blink: Rather, lets see if we can determine if partner can have a void diamond. Partner can't have more than a doubleton spade on this auction. If pard held a diamond void, then his shape would be xx, xxxxx, void, xxxxxx. Opposite an IJO, I'd bid 6♣ and then make the lightner. So, leading the x♥ - putting faith in partner and NOT the opponents. I lead the x, because if pard wins the Ace, he'll play me for a stiff - fine. If I am totally off base about the lead, the K♥ might still win a trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flytoox Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 H leaders did wellI heldAJTxxQxxAKQJxvoid oppositeKQxxxJxxxxxxx I think if you plan to bid 6, then just shot it rather than cuebid H first. At least you have 50% chance to get a d lead. But with good opp they may suspect your unusual move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
