Codo Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I would lead a club. Usually your lead questions are quite tricky and I find the club sticks out so far that it must be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Club and change methods so I can transfer to the 4 level lol. Guess I'm risking rho having a black two suiter and this being really bad but feels so right to lead my doubleton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampyr Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Club and change methods so I can transfer to the 4 level lol. On this hand you might go for -800 in 4♥, as our opponents did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhm Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 a trump club could work but I do not think that it is obvious Rainer Herrmann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Usually your lead questions are quite tricky and I find the club sticks out so far that it must be wrong.Usually my lead questions (and my bidding questions, and some of my play questions) are just hands where I didn't know what to do. If we get a solid vote for one particular choice, that's fine with me - at least I'll know what I should have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamford Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 unfortunately your methods don't allow you to transfer at the four-levelI think you mean fortunately. And I know the hand, but would lead a trump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I keep flipping between a trump and a club, but eventually my distaste for trump leads would probably win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 obviously not a heart, since if we go -800 dummy must have good heartsobviously not a trump because the british seem to suggest it doesn't work seriously guys, could you let the problems at least a couple of days live before spoiling them? or maybe use spoiler tags? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_20686 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I would lead a trump. Club seems reasonable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 This is the full hand:[hv=pc=n&s=sajt854hak96dt76c&w=s96hqj7542d532c54&n=s32h8dkq98ckt9862&e=skq7ht3daj4caqj73]399|300[/hv]I led a club, but that let it through: club lead ruffed, ♥A, heart ruff, club ruff, heart ruffed and overruffed, ♠K to the ace, spade back to the queen, endplaying East. I think the club lead is a mistake. They've bid to 4♠ under their own steam, in at best a 9-card fit, when we might have beeing stopping in 3♥. They must have some shape to justify that. In particular LHO, a passed hand, competed to 3♠, so he's likely to have a shortage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
