♦ 7 4 2
♣ 5 3 2 		 
Q: 1 - What do you lead as West?
SouthWestNorthEast
1 NTPass3 NTPass
PassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♥8 - Underleading an Ace 4th is quite a bad idea, with such a weak hand, you'd better lead for your partner, a Heart.

As they did not bid Stayman, they must have minors.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ A 6 2
♥ Q J 10 9 8
♦ 7 6
♣ Q 4 2 		 
Q: 2 - What do you lead as West?
SouthWestNorthEast
3 NTPassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♠A - South must have a solid minor, and nothing else, it's a gambling opening.

You need to lead the Ace of Spades to see the dummy, and decide next what is the right move for the defense.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ K 9 6 2
♥ Q 6 5 2
♦ A 6
♣ J 9 6 		 
Q: 3 - What do you lead as West?
SouthWestNorthEast
2 NTPass3 NTPass
PassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♥2 - It's a better idea to lead under a Queen than a King.

Therefore you need to lead your 4th best in Hearts.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ J 10 9
♥ K 8 6 2
♦ 8 6
♣ K 9 6 2 		 
Q: 4 - What do you lead as West?
SouthWestNorthEast
1 NTPass2 NTPass
3 NTPassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♠J - You want to lead a major, but you must not gamble everything on Hearts. They don't have much strength, and if you give away a trick right away, it might be their 9th.

You must lead a passive Spade, and wait to see the right path for the defense.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ A 10 6 2
♥ 7
♦ 8 4 3 2
♣ 9 6 4 2 		 
Q: 5 - What do you lead as West?
SouthWestNorthEast
1 NTPass4 NTPass
PassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♠2 - How can you hope for four tricks? Spades. Opponents have a lot of combined strengh, your best hope at defeating this, is finding your partner with something like King-Jack-x-(x), in Spades and take four tricks right now.

Your result so far:
Open Question
