pclayton Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 ♠ Retreat, retreat, retreat! Nope - keep the A♣ as a cover on declarer's cards. I'm not good enough to guess which red suit is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Diamond or heart. Perhaps a diamond (pard prolly streches more with hearts than diams). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double ! Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 right or wrong, i would lead a trump: make declarer develop his tricks. if I pick up P's Qxx, oh, well. I wouldn't be surprised if declarer had 6 trumps, anyway. At MP, blindly leading an ace seems to run to much of a risk of giving away a trick.

luke warm Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 on that bidding i think i'd lead the ♣A also, followed by another club probably... opener doesn't appear too worried, maybe we can get all our tricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Trump is the most passive imo, they only need 1 or 2 rounds and still have trumps enough left in dummy to ruff anything. Since it's MP's, I don't want to give opps extra tricks by leading agressive on this hand. Small ♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Led a low spade thru pard's AQx! They made easily. Any red suit was okay but a H lead has a chance to set them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Led a low spade thru pard's AQx! They made easily. Any red suit was okay but a H lead has a chance to set them. Why wouldn't declarer pick up the AQx anyway? Its not that much of a guess with KJTxx opposite xxxx - unless Dummy has only one entry. A more typical layout is that they have a 10 card spade fit and the trump lead gives away nothing. Objectively, any non-trump lead rates to be less passive than a trump. Bad luck I'd say.

dogsbreath Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 hijust a thought .. if y want an attacking red-suit lead .. try leading one of your Q's.It may work and may not cost a trick if p has Jxxx or such.I really dont know in isolation what I'd lead, except that it wouldnt be ACRgds Dog :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 low of a red suit, wuch one? no clue, probably would decide on the small cards althou not sure from wich criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdulmage Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Small spade, if I catch partner with a stiff club and 3 spades to the A♠, he wins it, fires me the club and a ruff, we may have this one set. If I just lead the ace of clubs off the hop, I may be setting up an entire suit for declarer to pitch away loses in the red suits. Alternatively, if I lead one of the red suits, I am asking myself to be finessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
