Siegmund Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I played 3rd/low against NT for a few years - and wound up abandoning it in favor of attitude leads (lowest if I want it returned, regardless of length, usually 2nd-highest if not). I realize that's not quite an answer to your question. When I did play it, I still led 9 from KJ9x, for instance, though that will sometimes blow a trick; having partner not return the suit because he things you started with just Kxx can blow a trick or two also.

AQTx or KJ9x are two reasons why 3rd/low is not as popular against NT as it is against suit contracts... From 98x(x) I lead the 9 against NT, but 3rd against suit contracts. I don't make any other exceptions. Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
