Killer Lead
WARNING! The following post talks about Jacoby Transfers. If you do not know what they are then do NOT bother reading this post.
Here is a hand from a few days ago where I was an Opponent. You are now my Partner who has to make a killing lead against a game contract.
The previous post discussed the bidding. Check out this post first:
Was the Bidding Correct?
So, to get the bidding from your perspective, here's what happened from your point of view.
Your RHO opens the bidding 1NT. ("15 to 17" their Partner announced.) You Pass. Your LHO bid 2♦. ("Transfer" your RHO announces.) Your Partner Passes. 2♥ your RHO bid. You Pass. 2NT bid LHO. Partner Passes. 3♥ RHO bid. You Pass. 4♥ LHO bid. This ended the auction.
Here's a recap:
The last post talked about what was wrong with the bidding. LHO has somehow misbid. You don't know WHAT the misbid was. Maybe they bid 2NT with more points than they should and are now making up for it. Maybe they are now overbidding their hand with the 4♥ bid. You don't know. But you do have to make a lead. What will you lead from this holding?
Your hand:
♠AJ9
♥765
♦Q73
♣K985
