RHO opens 1♦ and you hold:
♠954
♥Q1074
♦J862
♣K7
After a relay sequence (LHO only asks, RHO answers) they end up in 4♠ and you are put on lead knowing that RHO has 11-13 HCP with the 3433 pattern (four hearts). Dummy will obviously have 5+♠.
IMPs, all vul.
Give ratings 0-10 for every lead.
Tnx.

Hi Poky,
One disadvantage of relay systems is that it provides the opportunity for lead directing and/or sacrafice-suggesting doubles, and negative inferences from the lack of such doubles. So it would be nice if you gave the entire auction, so that this information can be factored into choosing the opening bid.

I have to agree here. But assuming nobody X-ed anything, I will lead K of
, hoping to get that ruff in. But with complete bidding I might think differently.Mike
