Leading a card when playing a trump contract
Good leads :
  • with a sequence of at least 2 honors lead the top of the sequence
  • with a singleton and low value trump cards lead a singleton to enable a ruff.
  • lead a trump card by playing a low value trump card, you are not hoping to make a trick, but trying to stop the Declarer from using his low value trumps to ruff from the short hand.

Leads to avoid : under a high honor card (ace or king)
