Guest Jlall Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 I'll try em... 1)DK, I don't need ruffs2)I X and lead a club looks like pard is void 3)lead my stiff diamond with a trump control adn nothing else.4)Heart, hoping pard has 1 entry.5)trump. cut down on ruffs.6)Spade. MUST go agressive since it looks lke the reds are favorable.7)Trump. Go passive.8)trump ace. Trying to protect my spades.9)Spade. Normal lead, agressive and passive at same time.10)trump. Wont lead away from a king and if dummy is broke the only possibility of a trick there is a ruff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ochinko Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 1. DK - fighting for control of the trump2. C3 - partner will ruff at least once, hopefully twice3. D5 - my turn to ruff now4. Sp3 - this is the toughest one, I could be wrong5. H5 - probably wrong, but I'm flying blind6. Sp3 - take our tricks before delarer's losers are discarded on the clubs7. H3 - when declarer runs from nt, it's sometimes best to take out the trumps8. HA, K, 3 - what you're gonna do without trumps in dummy?9. Sp2 - againg forcing play, hoping that partner has four trumps10. Sp8 - strongest suit, partner must have something I'm going to look at Justin's answers now, prepared to slap myself on the forehead: "Why didn't I think of that?" :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Ok, let me try (and I won't claim that any of these is automatic this time :)): 1) ♦K2) ♣3 (regardless of leading agreements, this is suit preference situation)3) ♦54) I think at IMPs, leading ♥ 7 is clear, as it gives the best chance to beat it (any single one of ♠K, ♥A, _♦K, ♣A with partner is enough, and ♦Q gives a chance). At MP, i would still do the same.5) spade6) spade7) If 2NT was a slam try, then I can't see how this can go down. I don't like any lead and would choose a heart.8) ♥A9) club10) club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chamaco Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 My choices 1) DK2) C8, play for 2 C ruffs in pard's hand (I'll signal suit preference for D)3) low C4) low C5) Club Ten6) Low Club7) Trump lead, they have stretched and 44 fit, let's avoid ruffs without giving away tricks on lead8) J of clubs9) low spade, try to force declarer (pard might be have long trumps)10) Anything I lead may help declarer to make a VERY VALUABLE free finesse that he could not take otherwise because dummy likely has no entries. I would be tempted to lead a trump but I fear this helps declarer for the abovementioned reason.So I'll lead a low diamond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
