MP's

This was at the club evening (MP's) against opps that are not good.
Or do you rather disagree with my bidding?
What do you lead?
Edit: The bidding was in fact a little different. East did bid 2NT instead of his first Pass. I changed the bidding

1. I hate your bidding. What would you need to bid 3 over 1?


2. I'd lead a trump


3. More realistically, I'd lead the A of my stronger major, tho it wouldn't take much for me to be persuaded to lead the A of my weaker major. Then I'd decide what I should have led instead.

I'm not sure, by the way, if we are beating this contract....the auction is certainly silly enough, but it actually suggests that we may only have 2 tricks in our hand. Oh well, partner's probable 4 card diamond length may be what we need, even if he can't contribute a working major suit J or K.

This post will sound somewhat like mikeh's.

Surely I'd have jump rebid 3 with a hand that some people (not me in 2/1 but some especially playing 2/2 systems) open 2.

I'd whack 5 especially vs weak opps on that bidding. It seems worthwhile to risk a likely bottom for a hoped for top (they could be set a couple tricks and being weak could find a way to blow another trick).

I lead a major suit ace.

Note that I edited the Original Post. East did bid 2NT after West did bid 2
I did bid 2 iso 3 hoping that opps would DBL 3 or 4...But now it looks like opps are doing the same with me (without realizing it)

bidding is just a failed dog-walk attempt.. no problem there. Now lead a major ace... the one that sets this, ofc.

LHO had both major Kings and a -void. They had a big -fit and 5 was unbeatable.
something like:

I did lead A.
