Scoring: XIMP

1C - 2S - p - 3NT
all pass.


Their 2S jump overcall showed at least an opening hand with 6+ spades. 3NT took a LONG time. What do you lead?
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

the most spectacular would be the king of Spade, but obviously this would be a spectular make.
The routine play of a spectacular player is the king of Club this could work.

I am so boring and lead a high Heart.
Kind Regards

I would lead a top heart. But if you were to ask me what I thought YOU led, I would say the ♣K!

In Poland you say: "♦ kills NT".

In Romania you say: "♥ kills NT".

In Bulgaria we say: "♣ kills NT". ;)

My lead is standard - ♥K. The killing lead imho is ♠9.
BE COOL!

Err, thanks, I'll try to take it as a compliment.

I didn't say that the lead was spectacular, the result was. Here is the full hand:

Scoring: XIMP


Note that 3NT makes after a non-heart lead.

Our super principle scored a goal to each of the two rival principles.

Csaba, what I'm wondering is.. do Polish bridge players see Romanians as their rivals? :D
