arepo24 Posted June 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 A few comments: 1. Next time, please arrange the suits in standard order: S H D C. Please do NOT put trump on top or at the left. No one does that. It is confusing. 2. If you think the answer is so obvious, then why ask the question to begin with? 3. Contrary to what you believe, the answer is not at all obvious, as shown by the myriad responses. Indeed, just about anything could be right. Cheers,MikeMikeExcuse me?I NEVER said the answer was obvious. If I thought that I would never have posted in the first place!I said not leading the CK was obvious. And I do happen to believe that, and from other posts, so do many others. And NOT anything could be right.Please don't put words in my mouth.

AL78 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 This is largely a guess, isn't it? Whatever lead you choose, there exist layouts where it is the best lead and where it is the worst. I don't see how it is possible to calculate all the possible layouts with probabilities to come up with an objective decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how it is possible to calculate all the possible layouts with probabilities to come up with an objective decision.It depends a bit on the scoring method, and also on the preempt style of the opponents.

arepo24 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Words like you wouldn’t lead an ace nor underlead an ace nor lead the ♣K? Yes, words like that. I have my subjective opinion about those things just as you do yours.Not to say they are the gospel.But I NEVER referred to anything but the K8 which to me was obvious.Get it straight Mister!

gordontd Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Thanks for being kind enough to tell me that. I am fairly new here and frankly had no idea what some posters were referring to.I was just trying to show my hand as arranged and ready to play the particular hand with the trump cards on my left. What do I know?Thanks for making it simple to understand what others were trying to tell me.Having been here for more than six years and made more than 60 posts, you shouldn't have needed t be told.
