WOW! I have never heard of that rule. And like Kelli I also minored in spades.
If I had a hand such as yours and I did not lead off with spades my partner would have been upset with me for not taking advantage of my hand.
It is very important to set the rules and agree to them before you start playing. I like to play with the jokers, without a kitty, I don't allow "blinds", I don't use the sandbagging rule, and if you do not have any spades you can through in your hand regardless of whether or not you have face cards.
Now where are these spades websites? As if I need to know...I already spend too much time on the net!
