Phil Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I can't believe Cayne found a trump lead at the other table (against a different auction). Apparently its cold on any lead, but its a lot more interesting with a trump out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I must admit I think 6h is ummm "optimistic" but there are indeed many waysan invitational hand can produce slam and the fog of war might make defending harder.Having said that, a second club just cannot be right and it would seem declarer hasa second suit. If it is diamonds we can do nothing but if it is spades maybe cuttingdown on spade ruffs can be significant. Trick 2 lead a trump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently its cold on any lead, but its a lot more interesting with a trump out. Lead was good and I actually tough for moment about the winning play that required early club. But I decided better to try for spade king or lucky diamond position with singleton trump. Not an easy hand to play. If I just plast a small slam I might actually get a different lead. So maybe that would have been a better bid from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After setting up a club trick, you must take the ♦ ruffing-finesse and pin! Declarer's line at the other table seemed weird. After winning the 2nd trick with ♣K, it seems natural to play ♠A, ♠ ruff, ♦A, ♠ ruff. Leading ♣Q seemed to be dicing with death, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
