Lead to the Left ~

--> C O N T I N U E D

Having opened the game as dealer, and having picked up the King of Spades by my own fruition, my partner and I assume trump-advantage in-pursuit of the first trick.

J♠ A♠ K♠ 10♠ Q♥

The first bid is led by the opponent left of the dealer. Regardless of what’s trump, players must follow the suit that’s led each bid if they are able to follow-suit.
