Your first board against new opponents. Your lead to 6 (yes, Australian preempts are loose):


And onto the next one. By this point in the match you know that your opponents bidding is beyond optimistic, but so far it's worked. You're 6 boards in to a 10-board IMPs match:

1. Q with no strong conviction.
2. 4 with strong conviction.

1. K. Also happy with Q.

2. 4 seems clear.

For the record, I definitely wouldn't be defending 5S undoubled! :)

In the second hand, are you still leading a diamond if LHO bids 5?:

Guessing:
  • = 10, = 9. = 6. = 4.
  • = 10, = 9. = 8. = 7.
  • = 10; = 9. = 8, = 7.

I just wanted to hear peoples' reasoning before I showed the hands. Here they are:

Hand 1 (check out North's takeout double of 3!!):

I have a lot of sympathy for my partner, who led a spade (a non-club).

Hand 2:

Partner led the diamond singleton on hand two, which seems like the best shot.

Thankfully the opps' aggro bidding eventually backfired, and we took a rewound contract many off on the last board of the match for a small win :)

I'd prob have led a heart on the first hand, though been tempted by a small club.

Diamond obv on the second.
