Another hand from the Christmas pairs

I am prepared to sacrifice all the way to 6s but I need to prepare us for a x if the

 

opps happen to bid 7d. That means this bid has to be

 

4h

 

No matter how the bidding proceeds from this point (unless opps stop in 6n) I should be

 

able to either bid 6s or get in my lightner x for the needed club lead against 7d. This is

 

important since waiting until the 7 level to use lightner risks a mistake. Those choosing to

 

bid 4c have the right idea but the concept of lighter is to primarily tell p what NOT to lead

 

and to hunt around for something diffenent. The main purpose being the something different

 

may be the only way to beat the opps slam. If we are going to defeat a slam on a normal

 

lead then passing is fine save the lightner for hands where you give your side the only chance

 

it may have to prevail. The 4c (like my 4h bid) are all too easily just a normal honor or natural

 

lead director and may be needed when the opps bid more. They can also be used (as in this case)

 

to set up a lightner x.

What do you call here? [/hv]

IMO 6 = 10, 4 = 9, 5 = 8. If opps bid 7, I like Broze's idea of a Lightner double.
