For a while now, I've noticed that leading from KJTx gives a lot of tricks away if this suit hasn't been bid. Has anyone the same experience, or is it just a bad moment for these suits when I hold them? Can anyone make a simulation about this, or has anyone done it? And what were the results?

Tnx :)

I think it depends from the bidding and alternative leads available.

if you post (or email me) some example auctions and a specific hand you hold, I can run simulations and post them or send them to you :-)

The last one we encountered:
http://online.bridgebase.com/myhands/fetch...php?id=21583875

2♣ opening shows (11)12-16HCP with any 3-suited hand.
2♥ is P/C.

Imo p had a clear ♣ lead here, but he prefered a ♦...

Notwithstanding the trump control and the stiff club, why not lead a trump. Pass or correct is still a preference auction and there will be cross ruffing......so reduce their ability to score baby trumps.

leads are all situational, but in general I do not lead from this holding vs a suit contract. It's fine vs a NT contract.

i agree to al_u_card... you know they don't have so much points, so the only chance for opps will be some cross ruffing. so i would start with a small Spade :-)
and to lead with that holding is not the best alternative - but when partner bids it :) when LHO bid that suit, i would lead it, too...

Sincerely Yours,
MorK
