 Doubleton Leads by Matthias Huberschwiller

Are you a fan of doubleton leads?

Some people never want to lead them, some always want to.

Let's find out!

Question 2

  Your Hand

Pass2♠Pass4♠
PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♣2 - An Ace-doubleton is not a good lead at all. Any time your partner doesn't have the king, you will be giving away a trick.

Lead a Club from the Queen. It's the least risky lead.

 Your choice:
A: ♦8 - The only suit where you can set up tricks from your side of the table is Diamonds. Hopefully, your partner will play a Heart back.

Your result so far:
Open Question

 Your choice:
A: ♦8 - With a weak hand, your best shot at creating a trick is to take a ruff on the third round of Diamonds.
