Scoring: IMP

1d-1h
2n-3n

S3 lead. RHO follows with the 5, std carding.


All of our suits seem to offer some chances. If we play on a red suit immediately, it'd appear that we'll get to use clubs only for a stopper, not a source of tricks, whereas if we play on clubs, the entry situation makes it tricky to play on other suits without letting RHO in, not to mention that we may need more than just split honors in the suit itself for the play to be productive.

If I choose hearts (and I do), I start with the J from dummy, not small to the 9.
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?
So many experts, not enough X cards.
