S9 (I play coded 9's and 10's). Let the rest come to me... There is only 2 HCP possible in partner's hand, make it SQ and I have a good lead imo :)

Same here, except I think pd can have more then 2 points, the 3 nt bidder never said anything about having a 10 count or so. They mite just be bidding on an almost running D suit with maybe an entree somewhere. But agressive leads work out most of the time. Hope this is one of em 8)

I can't think of anything better than a spade (the ten, playing standard leads).

A Diamond looks totally wrong, a Heart is very risky, a club may be right, but partner had a chance to double 3C and didn't.

as u can see H and "small" S will not work well and the declarer will be able to do 9 tricks . all the other lead (yes also diamond ) and of course the K of S lead :) . will kill this contract as long as the defnese stay with some concentration...

Quite obviously because it should be a mild slam try in Ds

mmhh yes, well i play that 3nt (1NT 3C 3D 3NT )personally as shortness in C and a slam try yes . but obviosuly that person bid 3C and 3Nt without that idea of slam try!! i really think that u have 2 decisions with that hand , transfert in D (whatever u play it) to play 3D. or 3NT rigth away , well let's add a third options if u want (if that's one ??) pass 1nt . i dont like 2NT that kind of hand u will do 6 or 10 tricks but very rarely 8 IMO

Not bidding 3NT directly maybe for one of two reasons:
a) Mild slam try if pd has a diamond filler and good controls
:) Suggests 5d as good alternative of 3NT, with an unprotected suit pd is expected to go to 5d, this usually shows a 7321 hand with 2 honors in diamonds and one honor on the side.

Depending on our NT range, I would either bid 3NT direct or pass 3D. Perhaps this was a tactical bid, designed to cause the defenders to mis-estimate each other's strength? If so, this is quite dangerous as the opener might have a hand worth bidding on after a mild slam try. On the other hand, if they have an explicit/implicit agreement that opener always passes 3NT, that is illegal unless alerted.
