Dick tells a story against himself when he asks "Well, did you play small?" South found this very interesting choice of lead at the table and when Dick played low from dummy South was able to find a potentially damaging switch at trick two without having made dummy's K available for a declarer discard. Although Dick recovered well to make 3 by reading the spade situation correctly he generously admits a sneaking admiration for players who make these bold leads. I would definitely agree with him in saying that whenever I find such idiosyncratic plays, it always seems to rebound on me and poor unfortunate partner.

Right, having said kind things about South's lead, now I'll turn nasty. He should have led 10 originally and then 3 is almost impossible to make!
