Others who arrived at 5♣ and making a ♥ lead made overtricks. ♦ was the only suit that can set the opponents when lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wclass___ Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Your partner had an easy 2♥ bid instead of pass, you have an easy 2♥ instead of 3♥, 4♣ by your opponent was another very bad move. I think I can live with other bids at the table. You realized that if partner has ♦A you have good chances to beat them by leading ♦K, so... good luck.

gnasher Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I think I can live with other bids at the table.What about the 4♥ bid? 4♦ looks a much better bid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 2 ♥ is definitely the right call over the 1 ♠ overcall. Based on the actual auction, I think ♦ K will be a fairly normal lead at IMPs. It's even more likely if partner rightly makes the initial 2 ♥ raise. The question is "Where can we get tricks to defeat to defeat the contract?". The opponent's have bid both black suits. ♥ are likely to yield no more than 2 tricks and more likely just one. The Q doubletons in your hand don't augur well for black suit tricks for the defense. It certainly can't be right to lead either of those. So you come to the ♦ K lead which works out if partner has the ♦ A or ♦ Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Good lead, wd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I dislike the failure to bid 2H, the 3H bid and the failure to bid 4D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkham Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 On a heart lead declarer may still go down if he finesses in clubs, which is likely considering all the extra hearts you've shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
