Thanks, Eagles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKok Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 The ♠2 seems automatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Partner appears to have 5 hearts a lot of the time (he certainly has 4) and a hand about as good as mine, 7♥ is very much in the frame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tramticket Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 East is likely to hold clubs. A spade looks normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Hi, The auction calls for a major. Partner rates to have approx. the same strength than we have, he was not able to introduce a 5 card heart suit on the 1 level, he may not have one due to havingpassed, depends on their 2-level opening style, but red vs. green, 2nd seat.I would go with a heart, the hope is, that I am hitting partners 5 card suit,developing one more trick than we are able to develop in spades, but spade is ok. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrothgar Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 I'm also leading a high heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 East is likely to hold clubs. A spade looks normal.Given our club length, East will quite often be 4333 with a 4 diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Partner appears to have 5 hearts a lot of the time (he certainly has 4) and a hand about as good as mine, 7♥ is very much in the frameA lot of those hands might have overcalled 1♥ though. I think I'll pick a spade but I see no problem with a heart either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the hand diagram is wrong, it was apparently me that had the chance to overcall 1♦ but if that was the case I'm not on lead. I suspect I'm south or the bids are the other way round. In that case for most people a heart overcall was possible, I would actually require more values than most so 5 card suit is very much in the frame.

Winstonm Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 East has either club length or diamonds and I see no reason to attack so I lead a top heart as it is unlikely to give anything away and partner has at least 4 of them.
