Opening Lead?

Posted on by 0 comment

You are on opening lead. Here is your hand and the auction:

What card do you lead?

 Spades look like the best suit to attack. But be careful not to mistakenly lead the king of spades. Fundamental for this holding is to lead the queen, asking partner to play the jack if she has it. If you don’t see the jack when dummy comes down and partner doesn’t play it, then you know declarer has it. The jack will then be trapped between your king and 10.
