Jinksy Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Don't discuss the origin of the hand if you know it (but feel free to vote): [hv=pc=n&n=st87hkjt92djcq852&d=w&v=n&b=12&a=1dp1sp1nppp]133|200[/hv] Teams. What would you expect to be the best lead (assuming standard agreement) a) at the table, b) DD? Is it clear in either a), b) or both?

blackshoe Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 How can you ask us about double dummy when you only gave us one hand? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinksy Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 What's the problem? Assume perfect play after your lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gszes Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 The heart J has a tremendous advantage any time the opps have Ax in hearts (with or w/o the Q) because we will be setting up either 3 or 4 heart tricks right from the start. DD play will not be able to overcome that disadvantage. P may easily be looking at close to an opening hand yet they did not take any action. Could it be due to their holding something like xxx of hearts? A club led ignores the fact that p did no bid so they are very unlikely to have the club length we need to make that an effective lead. A club lead runs the risk of setting up clubs for the opps that a heart lead does not do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillPatch Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 How can you ask us about double dummy when you only gave us one hand?I think that question is: Predict the results of a simulation using a DD analysis of many potential EW hands.

BillPatch Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Since in acol or the German standard system opener can almost never or never have the option to raise here with three ♠ preferring to rebid 1NT regardless of stoppers, I lead J♥ from the long suit, despite the tenace. Playing against the standard US systems particularly against N American players, I would prefer a low ♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
