Scoring: IMP


we are silent:

1♦-2♣
(..)2NT-(...)3NT

Opps are world class players with golden stars and the (.)'s denote tanks with proportional length.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Low heart. Pard has a good hand. Diamonds lie poorly for us, and clubs are probably a good source of tricks for declarer too.

If I felt the minors were not breaking well, I'd want to go more passive, but as it stands I think we need to take 5 tricks fairly quickly.

I heard once an expert that said lead the weak suit, because the Ace can be usd as an entry for your stablished trick.

I followed this advice often, after a couple of years I can conclude that the best lead is the one on the suit where partner is stronger :)

I very seldom lead from Axxx, but this looks like a hand for that. Agree with Phil's analysis.
Kind regards,
