zenbiddist Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 You're West. Your LHO looks like a man with a good hand, so you jump to 3♣. [hv=d=e&v=b&b=10&a=p1d(3%2B)3c(%22weak%22)d4cpp5dppp]133|100[/hv]He makes a 5 or 6 pause, then settles for 5♦. What's your lead and why? [hv=pc=n&w=skj5hj2d93caqt643]133|100[/hv] NS are playing standard american, 15-17 NT, etc. Scoring is IMPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foobar Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Suspect most people will need more data, including: N-S system (ostensibly natural), NT rangeForm of scoringAny other known inferences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gszes Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 club ace P did al they could via preempt so they are not overly strong. That does not mean our spade KJ and their scattering of hcp cannot get 2 tricks. Club ace at least makes sure declarer cannot get rid of their club loser someway (if they have one) and it is unlikely the club ace will set up a trick for declarer and even if it does 1 trick may not be enough.

It's our suit and, judging by opponent's bidding, we might be able to cash a couple.♦x. Passive. Might concede a tempo but unsure anything else is better.♠K.♥J.♠x.
