ArtK78 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I would lead a club honor. But you can construct layouts where a heart is right. I suspect that most would lead a club honor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuhchung Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 What about a trump lead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Assuming declarer has 6+ spades and dummy has 4/5 diamonds ♣K looks liek the best bet to me at MPs, at IMPs if they did a slam try we need some luck to bat it, and hoping for ♣KQ to produce to surprising defensive tricks might be best.

dake50 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 can we get to know what 3 spades means? - Fluffy *** And what 1H overcall would have been that didn't get chosen as a lead-director?Little confidence CK leads to setting this 4S. Nor does any other.That leaves an expectable lead for partner to read. Likely he expects a lead from KQxx with no clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the long haul the heart lead is probably a big loser at any form of scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'd lead a trump without a lot of thought. After giving it more thought, I would still lead a trump. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhare Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Low ♠ for me. It's possible that dummy may come down with 5♦s, but they aren't splitting well and we should have sufficient time to establish our side suit tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pull trumps and cash diamonds on that passive leadwhether we could take 3 or even 4 tricks in C+H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 You'd lead a low club from KQ♣ against a suit contract?Definitely, there are enough opportunities where it will win (for example RHO having singleton is quite probable, in which case he won't finesse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
