I\u2019d probably go with a spade as I have one less card in that suit and partner therefore is more likely to have spade length (and honours). With one more card in hearts it is also more likely that a second heart trick could be ruffed by declarer.<\/p>\n<p>But after the double I would for sure lead a club. What else does partner\u2019s Lightner double call for? By passing we would have around a 50 % shot of beating it, and by doubling he can get me to find the \u201cimpossible\u201d club lead when that\u2019s right. Bridge is such a logical game.<\/p>\n<p>In a heartbeat Ron Schwartz led a heart to beat the contract by one trick, plus 200. A great result for the Schwartz team, and the Israelis saved half a point (Board-a-Match) as Brogeland-Lindqvist also overbid to 6 diamonds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat was your logic behind the heart lead, Ron?\u201d \u201cWe have an agreement to lead hearts in these situations.\u201d Wow! That\u2019s news. And the next time when partner has the same holding (ace-king) in spades, would they change their agreement or would they come up with some other plausible explanation? (A more common agreement is to lead the higher ranked major suit when in doubt.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bridgecheaters.com\/?page_id=63\">Previous page<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bridgecheaters.com\/?page_id=69\">Next page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third \u201cweird\u201d hand which springs to mind is from the Reisinger last year (Board 20, Open room): Some browsers has problems with inline display of bbo viewer.Click here if this is the case.
