MUD from 3 small, otherwise 4th best
Lead A from AK except lead K: 1) Doubleton 2)5-level or higher 3)Partner's suit 4)Declarer or partner has opened at 3 or 4-level 5)Alarm clock, usually shifting to singleton When shifting thru declarer we lead the jack or 9 from a weak holding, but the 10 from a strong holding. The lower the spot card we lead in the middle of the hand, the more we want the suit returned. Vs NT Lead of the jack denies a higher honor. Lead of the 10 shows an interior sequence (AJ10, KJ10, A109, K109, Q109). |
High = encouraging/even. Low = discouraging/odd.
Signal on partner's lead is attitude. At trick one, low card suggests the obvious shift (the suit we bid, or in order of preference the weakest of dummy's 3-card suit, 4-card suit, 2-card suit, 5-card suit. Signal on declarer's lead mostly suit pref (count when needed). First discard in a suit is usually attitude. |
