Leads in NT Contracts

- we lead 4^th from 10 or higher

- from spots we lead 2^nd, except when we have supported the suit - then we lead highest

- lead of a King requires cattitude

- lead of an Ace requires deblock; if no deblock needed, then it requires count

Generally we lead:

A    from    A, Ax, AK... asking to deblock or give count

K    from    AK, Kx, KQ...

Q    from    Qx, QJ, QJ..., AQJ...

J    from    Jx, J10, J10..., AJ10..., KJ10...

10    from    10x, 109, 109..., A109..., K109..., Q109...

9    from 98...
