Scoring: IMP


2♠ - ( X ) - Pass - (Pass)
Pass

The ♣K is led, which you casually ruff in dummy.

What do you play at tricks 2?

Do not underestimate the power of the dark side. Or the ninth trumph.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

since you would like to ruff another ♣ you lead the K♦ to create an entry to your hand and restrict who can win the trick

How many tricks 2 are there? :)

This is a hand for scrambling and strangely 5-0 spades are better than 4-1 spades here.

I'm expecting: club ruff, K diamond exit, A♥, ♥ (hope it lives and LHO is 0=3=4=6 or 0=3=5=5), ruff diamond, ruff club, ruff diamond, exit club. That's 5 in the bag and I have a good shot at scoring 2 more spades. Not bad for this layout.

I think, I had ducked the first trick.

Now the king of diamond is the sexy choice. But I bet East has a 0445, so he needs not to be genius to find the defence of ace of heart, heart ruff, High Spade, club.

But what lead is better? Maybe a trump myself, hoping that this will not give a raod map for the defence?

Yes, that's much better. If LHO is 04(54) with both aces, the best they can do is ♥A, ♥ ruff, ♠A, spade. Now I ruff a heart and lead a diamond up, and I think I make four trumps and a side-suit winner.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
