Cyberyeti Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I think the only thing I'd consider completely nuts here is 9♠ although I'm not fond of a diamond or 7♠, I'd prob lead Q♠ here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Molyb Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 ♣K if GIB was on lead, otherwise ♠Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Close, GIB led the ♣J. I thought it was remarkably idiotic. You expect E to have 2-3 clubs with a shaky stopper. If you're going for club bonanza, ♣8 and hoping for a return via Qxx seems to be your best shot. I was wondering if I was resulting, looks like I was? Sitting opposite I had ♣ATxx and dummy had the doubleton ♣9, so ♣8 nets four club tricks and ♣H doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not completely idiotic, when you say 2♣ is FG, is it also completely artificial, and what exactly is it ? I wasn't clear who had the stop. J gains opposite A9xx with Qxx in dummy.

Antrax Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 It's GIB's system, so 2♣ doesn't promise anything. 2♦ denies 3 hearts, extra length in spades and a stopper in clubs. I think with Qxx it would bid NT either instead of 2♣ or instead of 3♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 K of C lead for me. A low C blocks the suit probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLow21 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Q♠ gives nothing away; a club is speculative at best and the only lead to give away the contract at worst. I am sure GiB led a club because, frankly (and I'm putting this mildly), its defense is indecipherably retarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm retarded too, then. This auction shows neither side was too happy about their club stopper. On a good day, their combined stopper is Txx opposite hope, at least in my club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said leading a club was speculative at best and could turn out extremely poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 A C lead is pretty well marked. The reason for not leading a low C is so as not to block the suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGF_Flame Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 imo Leading club make sense but not at MP.At mp i would choose the QS but even heart or diamond are better than club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
