weejonnie Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 1st rule of bridge - don't lead trumps against a slam. (In fact you should hardly ever lead trumps at all - it gives away a tempo and finesses off partner's honour, if he has one.) Since West could have doubled for a diamond lead (presumably) you are down to a heart or the King of Clubs - A heart may disrupt communication, the King of clubs may set up a winner if declarer can't get rid of it.

gszes Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 It appears the opps are missing at least one key card so a heart lead gives us a roughly 50% chance to set the hand almost immediately. If p has the dia A it is horrible for us and if they have the club A there is an extremely good chance all of our club strength is wasted. Leading a singleton is not always the answer but here it seems like a reasonable shot at setting a small slam and no I would not x because I am so sure this will work:)))) 1st rule of bridge when you have a known long side suit well covered by all means lead trumps to try and cut down on cross ruffing efforts (sorry i couldn't resist that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 If K♣ sets up a trick opponents are terrible slam bidders, so i think you have only one choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
