|  Four or Five-Card Major?

by Richard Pavlicek |
As West, you are on lead against 3 NT after this auction:

West
Pass | North 1  Pass | East Pass Pass | South 3 NT1 |
| 1. 12-14 balanced, no 4+ major |
Would you lead the
5 or the
6?
A heart seems the obvious choice having greater length, but another consideration is that the
Q would then have little or no significance toward a successful defense. In contrast, a spade lead will bring both of your assets (
Q and
A) into play. I doubt this could overcome the edge of a longer suit but thought a simulation would be interesting. How close is it?
To prepare the simulation I created 10,000 random deals with the West hand fixed, and the other hands constrained to fit the bidding. North: 1
opening (better minor philosophy) but less than 19 total points. South: 12-14 HCP, balanced, no 4+ major. East: no 5+ major or less than 4.5 playing tricks; no 6+ clubs or less than 5.5 playing tricks; no 4-4 majors or less than 13 total points.
No surprises. The heart lead is superior at any form of scoring and vulnerability narrowly at matchpoints, and vastly at total points or IMPs.

Trick Avg shows the average number of tricks won by declarer. Make Pct shows the percent of time the contract is made. Matchpoints shows the raw total (European style: 2 for a win, 1 for a tie) and effective scoring percent. Total Points and IMPs are shown similarly as raw totals and percents, with separate accountings for N-S nonvulnerable and N-S vulnerable. (Vulnerability does not affect matchpoints.) All numbers are relative to declarer, so lower values are better for the defense.
Below are 100 of the 10,000 deals, including the first 10 and last 10, and selected deals in-between where the lead made a significant difference. The number of tricks won by declarer is shown for each lead, assuming double-dummy play by both sides thereafter.
