ggwhiz Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 A♠, spade ruff (5) for a diamond return (underlead) and either another ruff or a trick in the wash. speedball/smoke break whether it works or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 not leading a spade its pretty bad IMO, assuming love all stands for nobody vulnerable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanoff Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 not leading a spade its pretty bad IMO, assuming love all stands for nobody vulnerable Usually it would be the ♦2 but I'm prepared to be educated on more attacking leads.

MickyB Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 not leading a spade its pretty bad IMO, assuming love all stands for nobody vulnerable Yup love all = noone has scored a game = both NV. Just checking, are you in favour of a spade lead or not? The 't' in 'its' feels like it might be a typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 yeah spade, not sure if low or high yet, I think high is better since it also covers ♠Kx from partner if he knows to underlead. But we didn't support diamonds which makes it more difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 ♠Ace is also OK but a little specific. It caters for pard being 1273 or similar. But low caters for more combinations - Kx, Qx and you will occasionally set it opposite Qxx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Phil you also put down when partner has Kx after an ace lead as long as partner finds your entry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 much much much prefer the ace to low. partner has pre-empted - the odds of finding a suitable honour combo are slim (especially given delcarer has the stronger hand so less scope for KJ misguessing and even if partner does have a doubleton and gets a ruff, we need 1 more trick which is most likely the diamond ace, in which case we had an entry to give the ruff anyway), whereas the odds of finding a singleton are pretty good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I hope SKx (back by DK) or S-single trying for a S-ruff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogs Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Lead trumps. Limit those diamond ruffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I admit my immediate reaction was the ace of spades, but a low spade is interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhare Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 My initial thought is ♠A, intending to give pard a ruff. Of course, the best laid plans may not survive the sight of dummy B-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
