8 DOW DOW DOW DOW DOW DOW : Bd. o. : Both Bd. o. - o. CO- FIAL CORE - FIAL CORE CO- - o. o. - Leading through strength is better if that strength is broken, not solid o. Lead toward dummy s weakness unless a) dummy has no entry/is void in the suit, and b) you ll be finessing yourself. Let declarer work out the need and the means for a coup/end play : Bd. o. : Both Bd. o. - o. CO- FIAL CORE - FIAL CORE CO- - o. o. - o. On the blind opening lead versus a suit, avoid underleading an Ace; once dummy is in view, it s easier to know if the underlead is warranted High-low in the trump suit shows cards, not an even number as it does for the side suits : Bd. o. : Both Bd. o. - o. CO- FIAL CORE - FIAL CORE CO- - o. o. - o. If partner rates to be broke, leading a stiff will likely be futile: in a suit he ll never get in to give you a ruff; in T, even if he has length, he ll never get in to cash long ones In rd seat, play/win the lowest card of a sequence; you deny possession of the immediately lower touching card/honor

CO- FIAL CORE - FIAL CORE CO- - o. o. - Without defensive bidding, doubling T says lead dummy s st bid suit; you should be 99% sure leading this suit will beat T o. On the blind opening lead versus a suit, avoid leading an unsupported Ace, i.e. you don t also hold the King. Avoid it even if partner bid the suit in response to your takeout double : Bd. o. : Both Bd. o. - o. CO- FIAL CORE - FIAL CORE CO- - o. o. - o. If partner doubles a normal slam contract in a suit, he s asking you to make an unusual lead. This is called a Lightner double, named after its inventor, Ted Lightner When the sole outstanding trump is higher than your highest trump, leave it out. Exception: dummy has a long solid suit to run and no outside entry : Bd. o. : Both Bd. o. - o. CO- FIAL CORE - FIAL CORE CO- - o. o. - o. When dummy has touching honors, wait until the nd one is led to cover declarer may not be finessing or may even have a stiff With both a - fit and a - fit, prefer the - the - side suit should provide or sluffs, the - side suit never will

In a suit contract, you usually want to grab your winners before declarer can discard her losers. It is almost never right to under-lead an ace against a suit contract. Following is a chart of suggested
