Matchpoints, adv field and table.

V vs NV, you hold:

♠ J73
♥ A5
♦ KJT9852
♣ 4

Pard LHO you RHO
pass pass 3♦ dbl
pass 3NT (ap)

3♦ = "I don't care for vulnerabilities" :P

What is your lead and why? Will you lead something else at imps?

The 3♦ bid is fine.

I lead the ♦K. This might blow a trick, but it also might not. Even at matchpoints we'd like to get the opponents down :P

I call the director and explain the bidding seems to have gone counter clockwise, and with my "LHO" biddign 3NT, I want my partner to lead.

I agree with the lead of the king of diamonds. Partner could have a stiff Q, as mentioned, and dummy could have a stiff Q. Given that I am going to lead a diamond, and I am, the king seems right. There is a reasonable shot at setting this contract, and even when the K goes into the AQ it doesn't always affect the trick total. Usually it does, but not always.

picky, picky ben.. lol

Anyway, congrats all. ♦K was indeed the good lead. Pard had a 4414 with the singleton queen!

Declarer could not make 9 tricks without going through the hearts, so he went 3 down when he tried a heart :)
