Fwd: A grate wall of no-Trump

At the table I chose the illogical alternative opening lead of the king of
hearts. If my illogical lead had been successful, due to dummy holding the
singleton queen of hearts, would that demonstrably suggest that I had
infracted the anti-peeking Law 74C5?

No, it demonstrably suggests no such thing. One must always consider the
counter-factual.

At the table partner held Ax in hearts, with declarer gambling that Qxx in
hearts was a stopper. The gamble paid off, 2NT making on my illogical king
of hearts lead instead of 2NT one off on any lower heart lead.

Best wishes,

Richard Hills

Butler Pairs
Dlr: South
Vul: Nil

You, North, hold:

JT2
KJT87
92
AQ9

East-West are playing an Aussie version of Standard American.

South passes as dealer, then West opens 1D. You elect to overcall 1H. East
responds 2C. West rebids a natural and non-forcing 2NT. East chooses a
natural and non-forcing Pass.

What is your opening lead?

Best wishes,

Richard Hills
