You're West. Your LHO looks like a man with a good hand, so you jump to 3.

He makes a 5 or 6 pause, then settles for 5.

What's your lead and why?


NS are playing standard american, 15-17 NT, etc. Scoring is IMPs

Suspect most people will need more data, including:

  • N-S system (ostensibly natural), NT range
  • Form of scoring
  • Any other known inferences

club ace

P did al they could via preempt so they are not overly strong. That does not mean our spade KJ and their scattering of hcp cannot get 2 tricks. Club ace at least makes sure declarer cannot get rid of their club loser someway (if they have one) and it is unlikely the club ace will set up a trick for declarer and even if it does 1 trick may not be enough.

I rank
  • A. Agree with Gszes. It's our suit and, judging by opponent's bidding, we might be able to cash a couple.
  • x. Passive. Might concede a tempo but unsure anything else is better.
  • K.
  • J.
