Favourable IMPs.

1♦-p-2NT-?

2NT is 11-12

Pass.
They might play 2 or 3 NT and then I'll lead a spade and take the first seven tricks.

When they play a ♦ contract my spades wil not make many tricks.
We´ll see, after 3♦ - p - p I'll bid 3♠.

I'd lead fourth best from longest and strongest.

Coded 10's and 9's means that the J denies! Obviously you lead the Ten to show 0/2/4 higher :P

Good point. The 10 does seem to be the stand-out lead.

It works for coded 10's and 9's, as you mention.

It works as a Rusinow lead.

And, it happens to be right for 3rd/5th leads, if you play that.

I lead 2./4./6. against NT, so I will lead a systemic 7....

I won't break my partnership agreements for a single (possible goood) result....

I pass. I will lead the spade 10 then the Ace, so that partner can relax as early as trick 2.

I will not double any notrump contract below the 6 level, and probably shouldn't even then.

Question: LHO bids 3♣ and rho corrects to 3♦ or LHO bids 3♦ and rho passes... do we bid? I do.. they have to double us and beat us two for that to be right for them... I am morally certain that they make at least 110, so -50 or -100 can't be bad (altho dollars to donuts they can and will compete to 4 minor).

Pass. I doubt we need a spade lead against 5♦, and I will do everything possible not to lead out of turn against 3N. I will pass 2N but I will bid 3♠ if they are resting in 3m.

I can't tell if you meant this with sarcasm, but given RHO bid 2NT, we will be on lead against 3NT. Yay!

By the way, I pass too. No reason to do anything else. As a side question, would most people play double here as a takeout of diamonds? Apologies in advance if people feel that is forum creep. Just felt relevant for those considering a double that it wouldn't even show what they thought.

Stupid yes, sarcastic no.

What I meant is I will not ALLOW pard to lead out of turn with his 4th best heart.

Yes double is TO of diamonds with 3♦ as the majors.

If you want to bid anything, just bid 3♥. Opps may go to 3NT :)

Yes if partner has as little as the ♠9 and solid suit he will appreciate the early entry.

The player I kibbed lead the J, then the A, then the T, to keep partner as tensed as possible :unsure:

As clee kindly pointed out to me in PM, this thread was sort of pointless. I am thinking about what to do if they bid something other than pass or bid 3NT, but that can probably wait until they actually do it.
