virgosrock Posted April 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Try not showing a slam try (and yes, that is the standard expert meaning in this auction) agree about slam try manu. lead a spade they make it. lead diamond they down 2. on what basis to lead diamond and not spade ? vrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfi Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 on what basis to lead diamond and not spade ? RHO is going to be short in spades and a diamond lead is relatively safe. The actual situation, where it gains you two tricks, is extreme but not totally unexpected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvester GIBBOne comes into competitive auctions supporting pd's suit at 3 level when loaded in "their" suit. vrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
