Make sure you view the explanations of the first 3 bids before commenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyC Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 With soft values in both minors, I'd lead a trump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcphee Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I am not fond of leading stiff trumps but this looks like good plan, protect your minor cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrecisionL Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 5♠, partner may have 4 trumps and RHO is probably short in ♠ - thus, a forcing defense is called for as I have the minors controlled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Can North have 5 good spades for 1NT? ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Can North have 5 good spades for 1NT? ahydra noone was suggesting he does. methinks you misread the post above yours. anyway, opps are low on hcp. a trump seems pretty clear. btw, why did i lebensohl to 3c with my 3 suited hand? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I would lead trump. And I would double 2♥. Agree with Wank that lebensohl with 5 card suit and when all 3 others suits are playable is weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My options were pass or 2N intending to pass 3♣, no ToX available, X is pens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I do not like the look of either minor so it is either a trump or a spade. I quite like the idea of ♠8 here trying to set up a spade or 2 before the minor stop disappears but most likely the trump was the winning option.

ahydra Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 noone was suggesting he does. methinks you misread the post above yours. No, I didn't misread anything.

Cyberyeti Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I led a trump, which I thought was reasonably obvious, Q♠ would do just as well as long as you lead a trump next, small spade would depend on partner's actions. The full hand was something like: [hv=pc=n&s=sq85h3dqj52cat852&w=s742ha972dckq9763&n=sakj6hk64d8764cj4&e=st93hqjt85dakt93c]399|300[/hv] There would have been other auctions at other tables as many pairs were playing strong NT. Our declarer made 8 tricks, some made 11 on other leads. And yes declaring anything would have been ugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I'm leading a trump. My tricks are in the minors so I want to reduce potential ruffs in dummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
