Now. why most l lead a hesrt7 49,"
There is no reason why . heart should be led
except THAT II has become conventional TO do so
when the third hand doubles a no trumper. Tho
theory upon which the lead Is based Is that the
dealer Is more likely 70 be weak IN hearts than In
anything else, II your partner b strong enough
20 double: because N the dealer were strong In
hearts he would probably have made that suit the
trump instead Of riskiny no trumps. But you are
not Obliged 10 lead q heart n you don't want TO.
II Is simply a convention, which no one need follow
unless he chooses. ..t o.. e 49,
