How to Play Opening Leads in a Game of Spades

"The opening leads of spades are very parallel or similar to the game of bridge or maybe even whisk. In the game of bridge the opening lead conventions are so standardized that the bridge players have what's called a convention card. So if they veer from these established standards then they wind up becoming penalized because, they're making leads that may be a private agreements between them and their partner. Because spades are not broken or used toward the middle to end part or I shouldn't say the end part. But toward the middle-ish to early ending part of the game of spades and therefore spades can't be lead at any opportunity which differs it from its classical game, or its old school game. It's important to understand the basic tenants of opening leads. For example, if you had a suit that was king and two small. Let's just get this one right here. What are you going to lead? You're not going to lead the king because you might be giving up your king to an ace that you wouldn't have lost. For example if the ace is over here and you just lead the king you're throwing it away. Let's assume that we have a high level bid on the table, say an eleven, or even a twelve, but you're definitely not going to under lead a king. Because you're just going to probably wind up giving someone your queen and somebody the ace separately. However, if we look at a suit like this. These are three connected cards, this is called a sequence, this is an honor card sequence. You don't care about where the ace is. If your partner has then ace then you're going to get the whole suit, but even if you leave the king here and the ace is taken here or here then these two are promoted so you wind up getting two tricks. So king from king, queen is pretty standard. Now, there's two players there's two schools of thought on this. If you have a suit that looks like this some people open the king as well because the king if it's not taken by the ace that tells your partner that you have ace, king, You might even have ace, king, queen or ace, king. If the king is taken by the ace, then you're telling your partner that you have the queen. Again, it's two connected honor cards. The modern players, what they like to do is play the, and then the king, which promises the king. It really doesn't matter, the idea is not to waste unsupported cards. This is an unsupported suit. This is a better lead, and something like this obviously, is very easy to work with because, you have three winners here. I mean this is the ideal suit to be leading. Now suppose that you don't have the luxury of that kind of lead."
