I have underlead unsupported Aces against a suit contract twice in my life, and both times against a slam. This would make the 3rd. Seems clear to me, especially with the client on play.

It sounds as though you don't underlead aces often enough then.

I'd do it against the pro and would almost be pleased if he popped dummy's king....that's respect But I'd be even more pleased if he didn't Fortunately, he isn't on play, so we're gonna beat this if the suit lies as I hope.

Are you? Partner needs to be awake too. I remember a hand from the distant past. A teammate found the only lead to trouble a small slam, low from Axx. Dummy had K10xx and declarer Jx. Declarer played low from dummy; partner, with Q98x put in the 8.

We dont need to worry about that, partner will always put up the queen looking at dummy and knowing declarer has 2 with the queen assuming he would like to set them.

Now what was the falsecard that's being referred to? That seems interesting.

As for the problem, I agree with the underlead of the ace on the auction/hand, seems too likely that this is our best chance at two quicks, which it looks like we'll need to beat the hand.

I'll make a new thread for it
