apollo1201 Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 From this WE league. IMPs, all red. RHO deals and opens 1NT (strong), all pass. You have to find a lead with: 9xxJTxQ7xxJxx Unfortunately, I can’t create polls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 You have 4 points. Opener has 15-17. LHO likely has no more than 8. That accounts for 27-29 points, so partner likely has 11-13 HCP. None of your suit holdings are likely to be set up easily. Even if you can set up ♦, you have no entry to cash the trick. So, you effort to beat 1 NT, should be keyed towards taking your best shot at setting up long suit tricks in partner's hand. Lead the ♥ J as it requires only 1 honor and length in partner's hand to set up long suit tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Normally I would lead the heart J trying to hit partner. IF we are playing a system where 2c shows a one suited hand I would lead a small club since p could easily be afraid of showing clubs which would have to be played at the 3 level.
