frank0 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 You make 3rd best lead from 4-card suit, you get on lead and want to continue this suit, which card should you lead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 In general, I'd lead the lowest. That clarifies that you have 4 (or very unlikely 6 or 2) in the suit. If you lead a higher card, it might be unclear if you started with only 3. Obviously it can change if certain cards are needed to be played (like high cards through dummy) or you want to try and trick declarer as to your length.

On trick 3 W led a spade, thought p has ♠32 and another trump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyman Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Also west shouldn't play north to hold 4 spades on this auction if the bids are natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
