3♦ on our right in 4th seat, 3♠ on our left, 3N on our right?
It's a plausible auction. ♣K looks normal. No sympathy for a small club, although a heart could be right.

I make the most aggressive lead possible, which would be some sort of club.
The K seems better than a small one, so I go with that.

K♣ lead helped our defence here...I did not chose that unfortunatly but J♥ and opponents made the contract

You gotta lead a top club here. RHO is a passed hand, so it's very good odds opps can only make this on the running diamonds. Thus you have to attack. Since a heart requires too much in pard, a club is better.

Yes, someone please explain the need for a big club as opposed to 4th highest.
The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

Well, if the opponent has Jx opposite Axx. Don't want to give up trick 9 on opening lead.

That's not it. You want to tell pard clubs are running. If you play low, he might be tempted to some silly switch.

The entire hand...I was declarer and have 8 tricks. Lead of ♠ gave me the 9th trick .That is way I refuse to lead where I have a K if I have another option.
If he leads 6♥ I have the chance to play bad,wich I did it
It is strange for me why all prefers to lead ♠
