On second lead, would you play a high or low trump?

If IW ordered me up on the 9C and I had AcKc9s, then I would lead high with the Ac. If he had ordered me up on the 9c and I had AcQc9c, then I lead the Qc letting my partner know I have at least one more.Dlan wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2020 2:49 pmI'm not sure I see it that way. As the maker, I'd like the option of being able to leave the lead with my partner. On this hand you had no choice to take the lead, however, that may not always be the case,
Anyway, I asked because I'm looking for other options. It's possible I'm wrong.

Just realized that becuz I have 3 trump, and S2 ordered, it's literally impossible to promote an enemy Kc with an Ac lead. Altho in this hand an Ac lead would've effectively promoted it on that critical 3rd trick lead. Not sure how often that will occur to even worry about that. Nevertheless, I still prefer leading low here.Wes (aka the legend) wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2020 5:54 pmIf IW ordered me up on the 9C and I had AcKc9s, then I would lead high with the Ac.

If he ordered my up on the Qc and I have AcQc9c like in the actual hand, my default is to send the 9c as this lead serves the dual purpose of letting my partner know I have at least 1 more trump, plus this lead never unintentionally promotes an enemy Kc. I'm not positive I'm right here. Just telling you my approach to this spot.

Good stuff IW.irishwolf wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2020 6:08 pmDon't try to over think the cards and your partner.
The reason is very simple. If the AC is led and happens to win the trick, he now has the 9S as his next lead, a loser. If his partner has a low Spade they have little hope for a sweep. You give that lead back and he has AH, the dealer can get rid of that 9S.
If it were an ace to lead, it would be different. But it's not the the situation with this hand.
In addition, there are various hands that his partner could have had. For example, he assists with JC & KC, you lead the AC he is forced to use the JC. You have weakened your hand.
Give the lead back to your partner!
