Scoring: IMP

1♠ - 3♣*,
3♦ - 3♥,
4♣ - 4♦,
4♠ - 5♠


East-West have an uncontested auction and get to the 5 level. 3♣ was explained as a fit jump, and the rest of the auction was cue-bidding until 5♠, which was asking about the trump suit quality.

What do you lead?

Low ♥.

I very rarely try the hero lead - usually simple is best - but today I will.
RHO has losing hearts, and the safe diamond won't be setting up any tricks for us.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Low heart. Looks like they have a trump loser + a heart loser, maybe two heart losers if they misguess. From the bidding it looks like they have the diamonds well stopped (probably A and K of diamonds). They may be able to pitch a losing heart(s) on the clubs.

Still trying to find out why West bid 5S and not 4Nt keycard. If i believe them to be strong players then its probably based on a diamond void so i lead low heart. Otherwise i lead Q of D maybe partner got a stiff diamond and quick S trick.

I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

Low heart looks very reasonable here.

queen of diamonds.

I really don't get the low heart lead, I would strongly prefer the ace of hearts. Why can't dummy's heart 'cue bid' be a singleton - particularly given that dummy has shown clubs and spades.
