dkham Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Playing Matchpoints. You are sitting West: [hv=pc=n&w=skq9h875djt5cj862&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1d3c3h5c5hp6hppp]133|200[/hv] The opponents open 1♦, partner pre-empts with 3♣ (showing 6+), you raise this to 5♣ and end up defending 6♥. It's your lead. What do you go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Molyb Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 The ♠K looks very attractive to me, although I'm probably missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 The reason to stay off the spade is that we may be blowing a trick in the suit. However, on some layouts where that is true, declarer can endplay us anyway. Meantime, if the hand is something like AJxx Kxxx Axxxx void opposite 10xx AQJxx Kxx Ax we'd better establish our spade trick. I lead the spade K.
