CopeyJ Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Love all at teams, you pick up the following collection: ♠AX♥X♦JX♣AJT98XXX P-P-1D-4C5D-AP Opponents play 4cM, 12-14 NT base. You decide to bid 4♣, and when LHO bids 5♦you let that go, but what do you lead? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMoe Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I lead the ♥x on the theory that "If I don't lead it it's not a singleton". A trump lead seems wrong (they should have 9+ cards), a ♣ lead might give them a game-going trick they don't deserve, and the ♠A might promote their winners in that suit. Partner passed so can't have much in the majors, and even less if s/he has length there. ♥x > ♠A > ♦J/x >> anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 This is tough, but seeing as you only post once every 18 months, I'll give it a go. ♠A. This may be wrong, but at least I get to see the flop and I hope to have a winning option at trick 2. ♣A is also reasonable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 ♣A by now, it doesn't commit much unless its ruffed, in wich case defeating will be very tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CopeyJ Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 ♣A was my choice and let it through. Dummy had void club, but partner had ♥A. I think it was a poorly thought out lead - I am thinking A♠ is the right card - have a look at dummy and make decision Dummy XXXXXXXXAQTXXVoid Decl KQJKJTKXXXKQX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
