Guest Jlall Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 heart. any suit could be right (but probably not a club). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfanclub Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 I dunno. It just seems like I'm giving away so much information if I lead a heart. Assuming the Stayman bidder has 4 hearts as promised, I've given them too much of a roadmap of our hands when he finesses and wins. If I was to lead a heart, I'd probably lie and lead the 9. Partner can figure out that I can't have a doubleton, but declarer doesn't have that luxury. If he thinks my partner is holding up on the king, it may cause him to misplay the hand.

scoob Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 i chose ♥3 but i'd really prefer to lead the 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Positionally, I don't like the heart lead. I'm leading around to the short suit with the long suit in dummy. If hearts had been bid on my right, I like the heart lead. To me, its between the J♠ (passive) and the 5♦. I chose a ♦, but the ♠'s probably best.

luke warm Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 i'd lead the ♦5... give lho 4 hearts and opener 2.. partner has 3 max, and there's no law against opener having the Q ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrothgar Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 I'm leading the 5 of clubs at MPs(I don't expect much company) IMPS, I'm leading a low DiamondFining partner with Kxxxx of Dimaonds seems the best chance to set the contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 So I have 2 4 card suits to lead and one is dummy´s suit, what is the problem?. Seems there is a problem since less than 50% people are voting for ♦5. But I don´t see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
