The Lead of the King vs No Trump

This video shows how you should signal when your partner leads the king vs a No Trump Contract.
You can try out some hands using the following links:
1. Lead king from KQ10xx. When partner does not play an honour tinyurl.com/y8rhxtdp
but plays the 7, switch to another suit.
2. Lead king from AKJxx. Partner plays 8 (looks high), if this is 2 cards, declarer has Qxx, so you must switch to another suit again. If you switch to a club, partner must return a diamond when he gets in with king. tinyurl.com/y8w3x246
3. Lead king from AKJ10. Partner plays a low card - very likely to be 3 cards, so cash the remaining tricks, Q is with declarer, but will drop. Declare cannot be defeated, but will make 10 tricks unless you take the first 4. tinyurl.com/ybob627q
4. Lead king from AKQ10. Partner plays a high card - could be 2 or 4 cards. This leaves declarer with Jxxx or Jx. Continue with A to see if J drops. tinyurl.com/ybww3o7a
If it does not drop, declarer started with Jxxx, so switch to another suit. On this particular hand, there is a chance to ‘endplay’ West tinyurl.com/ybkm5a2h

Question for that last hand. Aren't you damaging your chances by playing the 2nd spade? If partner has 2, he will have no spades left to return. If you switch, then if he ever gets in, he can return one, beating the contract.

At 29:57, you can actually avoid being end-played by putting on the jack or queen instead of the four of hearts. And then discard the other honor under the ace. That way they can't put you on lead.

You would need to be sure your partner has 10H and they are hanging on to it otherwise declarer may have it or win with the 9

Glad you found it helpful!

Wrong. Ace is for unblock or count, King is for attitude, playing standard signals. I actually prefer Rusinow, so that King shows Ace-King, and Ace denies the King.

The system is describe is based around Acol - and I know in the US, these signal are used the other way,
