rmnka447 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I'm making the same lead as I would if the bidding had gone 1 ♥ - 2 NT(strong raise) - 4 ♥ in a Standard American auction -- 4th best ♣. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I am leading ♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhare Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Sorry to have put in you a spot with that auction Chris :D, but I would try a ♥. Q♠ and another is another option, but it's a gamble... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycroft Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I suck at opening leads, but:Precision style 4♥ is almost always either a standard 4♥ call or a "weak NT"Potentially, it could be "lighter with shape", sort of in the middle, but it's still going to be decent strength, as they don't want to be -100 into +140.It's almost certainly not the "standard 4♥" - I have too many hearts.So - what would I lead to 1NT(13-15) by LHO-3♥(GF); 4♥?Again, I suck at opening leads, so I'm not answering that question, but that would be my thinking.

JLOGIC Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Seems like you could not create a more obvious trump lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I thought this called for a trump, and it turns out a trump lead give declarer a difficult play problem, anything else not as much, but I'm not sure whether that was percentage or just dumb luck, which is why I posted..

JLOGIC Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I don't think the auction calls for a trump lead, but our hand certainly does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMoe Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Trump lead as my 4 spots are too weak to try pumping declarer. A passive lead here is good as declarer must work to find the missing honor cards. Can't wait to see dummy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
